Commercial  Feeding;  Stuffs  and  Registrations 

for  1916. 


By 


Charles  S.  Cathcart,  State  Chemist .* 


This  bulletin  contains  the  results  of  the  third  annual  inspection 
of  commercial  feeding  stuffs.  The  inspection  was  made  under  the 
authority  of  the  law  which  was  approved  March  28th,  1912. 

The  Experiment  Station  is  endeavoring  to  look  after  the  in- 
terests of  the  consumers  of  feeding  stuffs  as  well  as  the  honest 
manufacturers  of  these  materials,  hut  in  order  to  obtain  the  best 
results  it  is  necessary  that  every  dealer  and  consumer  should  co- 
operate.  It  is  impossible  to  have  an  inspector,  present  when  every 
shipment  is  received  and,  consequently,  the  dealers  and  consumers 
should  be  familiar  with  the  main  requirements  of  the  law.  If 
materials  are  received  which  do  not  comply  with  the  requirements, 
they  should  not  be  accepted  and  the  state  chemist  should  be  in- 
formed regarding  the  shipment. 

*The  chemical  analyses  were  made  by  Ralph  L.  Willis,  Samuel  I.  Hoddeson, 
Louis  J.  Kleinfeld  and  Archie  C.  Wark.  The  microscopical  examinations  were 
made  by  Joseph  J.  Williams.

The  full  text  of  the  law  has  been  published  several  times  and  it 
does  not  seem  necessary  to  repeat  it  at  this  time.  The  requirements 
that  should  be  remembered,  however,  may  be  briefly  stated  as 
follows: 

1.  The  material  must  be  registered  by  the  actual  shipper  (manu- 
facturer or  jobber). 

2.  The  brand  name,  the  guarantees  for  protein  fat  and  liber, 
and  (in  mixed  feeds)  the  specific  name  of  each  ingredient  used  in 
its  manufacture  must  be  stated. 

3.  The  name  and  address  of  the  actual  shipper  must  be  attached. 

By  insisting  upon  the  above  requirements  the  purchaser  will 

not  only  be  co-operating  with  the  Experiment  Station  in  the  en- 
forcement of  the  law,  but  may  save  himself  some  inconvenience 
should  one  of  our  inspectors  find  a feed  that  is  not  properly 
branded,  since  it  will  be  necessary  to  have  the  matter  attended  to 
before  the  material  can  be  sold. 

The  law  under  which  this  inspection  was  made  is  effective  only 
in  Xew  Jersey,  and  the  person  selling  cattle  feeds  in  the  state  is 
the  one  responsible  for  fulfilling  the  requirements  of  the  law. 
Many  manufacturers  assume  these  responsibilities  in  order  to  pro- 
tect their  various  customers,  as  they  realize  the  advantages  to  be 
gained  by  so  doing. 

During  the  past  year  the  writer  has  received  an  appointment 
from  the  Federal  Government  as  Commissioned  State  Official  and 
is  authorized  to  take  samples  of  cattle  feeds  which  enter  into  inter- 
state commerce.  Should  deficient  or  adulterated  feeds  be  located 
during  our  regular  inspection,  the  information  can  be  used  for 
starting  proceedings  in  the  proper  courts  of  the  United  States 
against  the  shipper.  The  advantage  of  the  appointment  is  that  the 
responsibility  for  the  interstate  shipments  can  be  placed  upon  the 
shipper  instead  of  upon  the  local  dealer. 


Registrations. 

During  the  past  year  518  manufacturers  registered  2,582  brands 
of  feeding  stuffs  which  they  intended  to  offer  for  sale  in  this  state. 
Our  inspectors  found  118  brands  that  were  being  offered  for  sale 
before  the  required  registrations  had  been  made1,  and' the  dealers 


holding  these  brands  were  notified  not  to  dispose  of  the  same  until 
the  requirements  of  the  law  had  been  complied  with.  Registra- 
tions were  received  later  for  91  of  these  brands.  The  number  of 
unregistered  brands  found  last  year  was  larger  than  reported 
above,  and  it  is  therefore  quite  evident  that  more  attention  is  being 
given  to  this  requirement. 

From  the  reports  rendered  by  the  inspectors,  it  is  noted  that 
there  are  some  manufacturers  who'  do  not  state  in  the  information 
attached  to  their  products  exactly  the  information  which  was  reg- 
istered. As  it  is  absolutely  necessary  to  have  the  two  statements 
exactly  the  same — and  these  include  the  brand  names,  the  guar- 
antees for  protein,  fat  and  fiber  and  the  specific  names  of  the  in- 
gredients used  in  mixed  feeds — great  care  should  be  used  to  accom- 
plish this  end.  A brand  that  is  registered  with  certain  guarantees 
does  not  cover  a material  which  carries  a different  guarantee, 
although  the  same  brand  name  may  b.e  used. 

The  Feeding  Stuffs  law,  as  enacted  three  years  ago1,  contained 
requirements  that  were  new  to  the  local  dealers  and  consumers,  and 
in  order  that  everyone  could  become  familiar  with  the  requirements 
regarding  the  method  of  branding,  some  allowances  have  been  made 
in  the  past.  Inasmuch  as  everyone  has  been  given  sufficient  op- 
portunity to  learn  the  method  of  procedurei,  it  will  be  necessary  in 
the  future  to  have  all  deficient  branding  corrected  before  the  sale 
of  the  material  is  approved. 


Tonnage  of  Feeding  Stuffs  Sold. 


The  law  requires  reports  to  be  filed  on  July  1st  and  January  1st 
of  each  year  showing  the  tonnage  of  feeding  stuffs  sold  during 
the  preceding  six  months.  The  following  is  a summary  of  the 
reports  received  covering  the  sales  made  during  1913,  1914  and

Inspection. 

During  the  inspection  1,467  samples  were  received,,  and  of  this 
number  49  were  forwarded  by  individuals  and  the  others  were  col- 
lected by  the  regular  inspectors  who  visited  every  county  in  the 
state.  The  samples  were  secured  in  166  cities  and  towns,  and  rep- 
resented the  stock  of  333  dealers  and  consumers. 


Examination. 

Each  brand  collected  was  examined  microscopically,  in  order  to 
determine  the  ingredients  present.  They  were  also  examined  by 
use  of  the  official  methods  as  adopted  by  the  Association  of  Official 
Agricultural  Chemists,  in  order  to  determine  the  content  of  pro- 
tein, fat  and  fiber.  The  results  as  obtained  by  these  two  examina- 
tions are  to  be  found  in  the  tabulations  on  the  following  pages. 


Results  of  the  Inspection. 

The  laboratory  work  of  the  inspection  consisted  of  the  examina- 
tion of  1,151  samples,  49  of  which,  being  unofficial  samples,  were 
reported  directly  to  the  party  requesting  the  examination  and  are 
not  included  in  the  tabulations.  Of  the  1,102  official  samples  ex- 
amined, 294  or  26.6  per  cent,  did  not  satisfy  all  of  the  guarantees 
given.  The  deficiencies  due  to  the  ingredients  found  are  not  in- 
cluded in  the  above  figures.  Last  year  the  percentage  of  deficient 
samples  was  17.7,  which  shows  that  there  was  a falling  off  in  the 
grades  of  feeds  furnished.  It  would  be  difficult  to  state  the  cause 
of  this  backward  movement,  but  the  fact  remains  that  an  unusually 
large  number  of  shipments  were  deficient  and,  with  two  or  three 
exceptions,  were  paid  for  at  prices  that  were  fixed  for  materials 
containing  the  guaranteed  amounts  of  the  nutrients. 

The  total  number  of  deficiencies  noted  was  protein  103,  fat  103 
and  fiber  154.  There  were  233  samples  deficient  in  one  nutrient, 
• 53  deficient  in  tAvo  nutrients  and  7 deficient  in  the  three  nutrients. 
The  percentage  of  samples  that  were  found  deficient  in  protein  and 
fat  is  about  the  same  as  reported  last  year.  There  was  a very  large 
increase  in  the  percentage  of  fiber  deficiencies,  and  this  increase 


7 


is  sufficient  to  account  for  the  poorer  showing  as  found  during  this 
inspection.  * 

The  following  tabulation  is  a summary  of  the  inspection.  It 
will  be  noted  that  the  average  composition  and  average  selling 
prices  of  Calf  Meals,  Feed  Mixtures  and  Poultry  Foods  are  not 
given.  These  averages  were  not  calculated  on  account  of  the  vari- 
able character  of  the  different  brands  reported  under  the  respective 
headings.,  In  preparing  this  tabulation  the  Protein  as  found  is 
considered  to  satisfy  its  guarantee  if  it  is  not  more  than  one  per 
cent,  below  it.  An  allowance  of  onedialf  per  cent,  is  also  made  for 
Fat  and  for  the  Fiber  determinations.

The  More  Important  Greenhouse  Insects' 


By  Harry  B.  Weiss 
Introduction 

The  florists’  products  of  New  Jersey  amount  in  a single  year  to 
more  than  $4,000,000.00.  The  insect  problems  incident  to  this  large 
industry  have  been  both  great  and  pressing.  Despite  these  facts, 
however,  it  has  not  been  possible  for  the  Experiment  Station  to 
take  up  the  study  of  even  the  more  important  ones.  Indeed,  such 
seems  to  have  been  the  case  all  over  the  Unitd  States,  for  but  the 
modicum  of  attention  has  anywhere  been  given  to  the  subject. 

In  the  course  of  his  work  as  assistant  to  the  State  Entomologist 
the  writer  has  had  an  excellent  opportunity  to  observe  the  methods 
of  insect  control  in  practical  use  and  has  found  them  woefully  lack- 
ing in  efficiency.  Furthermore,  he  has  found  that  the  florists  are 
working  rather  too  independently  in  these  matters,  and  that  really 
valuable  discoveries  of  different  men  have  not  come  into  general 
use. 

With  a view  to  sifting  the  truth  from  this  mass  of  error  and 
putting  it  in  a form  easily  available  to  the  florists  of  New  Jersey 
this  bulletin  has  been  prepared,  and  it  is  hoped  that  it  may  do  some- 
thing to  lighten  their  burdens.

Description  of  Insects 


The  Greenhouse  Leaf-tier 
( Phlyctccnia  rubigalis  Guen.) 


Fig.  1 — Phlyctccnia  rubigalis:  a,  moth;  b,  same  in  natural  position  at  rest; 

c.  egg  mass ; d,  larva  from  above ; e,  same  from  side ; f,  head  of 
same;  g,  pupa  case;  h,  chrysalis;  a,  b,  d,  e,  g,  h,  one  half  larger 
than  natural  size;  c,  twice  natural  size;  f,  more  enlarged.  (After 
F.  H.  Chittenden  in  Bui.  27,  U.  S.  Dept.  Agr.  Bur.  Ent.) 

The  parent  moth  is  pale,  reddish  brown,  with  a wing  spread  of 
about  of  an  inch  and  can  be  found  during  the  day  under  leaves, 
benches,  etc.  It  readily  flies  out  when  the  plants  are  disturbed, 
and,  is  easily  recognized  by  its  triangular  form  when  at  rest. 

Injury- — The  injury  is  accomplished  by  the  larva  and  consists  of 
a disfigurement  of  the  foliage  due  to  its  feeding  on  especially  the 
lower  surface  of  the  leaf.  As  a rule  the  larva  ties  two  or  more 
leaves  together  or  folds  over  the  edge  of  a single  leaf.  Sometimes 
the  feeding  is  done  in  a thin  web  which  is  spread  over  the  under 
surface. 

Food  Plants. — Chrysanthemum  is  the  favorite  food,  but  other  re- 
corded food  plants  are  ageratum,  geranium,  dahlia,  carnation,  be- 
bonia,  violet  and  rose. 

Life  History. — The  moth,  which  hides  during  the  day  beneath 
benches  or  on  the  under  sides  of  the  lower  leaves  or  in  other 
places,  appears  at  night  and  deposits  eggs  on  the  under  surface  of 
the  leaves  in  groups  of  from  two  to  fifteen  or  more.  These  hatch 
in  ten  days  or  two  weeks ; the  larvae  feed  for  two  or  three  weeks, 
and  when  full  grown  are  about  of  an  inch  long,  greenish  or 
greenish-yellow  and  slightly  translucent.  Along  the  back  is  a 
median  green  line,  and  on  each  side  of  this  a double  white  line. 


5 


Pupation  takes  place  between  the  parts  of  a leaf  or  two  leaves 
folded  together,  the  moth  emerging  about  a week  later. 

Control. — Spray  the  under  side  of  the  leaves  with  arsenate  of 
lead  as  soon  as  the  larvae  appear.  Handpicking  is  also  effective. 


The  Diamond-back  Moth 
( Plntella  macnlipcnnis  Curt.) 


Fig.  2 — Diamond-back  moth,  Plntella  macnlipcnnis ; a,  larva  ; b,  one  segment 
of  same,  more  enlarged,  as  seen  from  above ; c,  same,  side  view ; 
d,  pupa ; e,  pupa  in  lace  like  cocoon ; f,  adult ; g,  right  wings  of 
dark  variety  of  same ; h,  adult  at  rest  with  wings  folded ; i,  tip  of 
pupa.  (U.  S.  Dept.  Agr.) 

The  moth  is  J4  °f  an  1 nc h long,  with  a zuing  spread  of  about  % of 
an  inch.  The  wing  markings  are  variable. 

Injury. — The  larvae  feed  between  the  leaf  surfaces  and  on  the 
under  sides,  causing  a riddled  condition  of  the  foliage. 

Food  Plants. — Various  plants  become  infested,  such  as  sweet 
alyssum,  stock,  wall  flower,  cabbage  and  related  species. 

Life  History. — The  translucent  eggs  are  laid  on  the  upper  or  the 
lower  leaf  surface.  They  hatch  in  about  five  days  and  the  larvae 
feed  for  almost  two  weeks.  These  are  slender,  light  green  and 
less  than  2/5  of  an  inch  in  length  when  full  grown,  also  quite  active 
when  disturbed.  The  pupal  period  lasts  five  or  six  days  and  takes 
place  in  a thin  cocoon  on  the  under  side  of  a leaf  at  the  base  of  the 
stem  or  some  other  concealed  place. 

Control. — Apply  arsenate  of  lead,  one  pound  to  18  gallons  of 
water,  to  under  side  of  leaves.  If  plants  are  in  bloom,  spray  with 
fresh  pyrethrum  at  the  rate  of  1 ounce  to  2 gallons  of  water.  Do 
not  grow  cabbage,  cauliflower,  rape,  turnips,  etc.,  near  the  houses 
in  which  stock  or  sweet  alyssum  is  to  be  raised.  Keep  down  all 
cruciferous  weeds  around  the  greenhouses. 


The  Rose  or  Oblique-banded  Leaf-roller 
(Ar chips  rosaceana  Harr.) 


Fig-  3 — Rose  leaf  roller,  Archips  rosaceana,  larva,  from  side  and  above. 
Enlarged.  (After  J.  J.  Davis.) 


Fig.  A — Rose  leaf  roller,  adult  enlarged.  (After  J.  J.  Davis.) 

The  moth  is  light  brownish  in  color,  zvith  a wing  spread  of  from 
J/8  to  1%.  inches.  The  fore  zvings  are  obliquely  crossed  zmth  3 
more  or  less  distinct,  broad,  darker  brown  bands.  The  under  side 
of  body  and  wings  is  yellozvish  orange. 

Injury. — The  larvae  feed  on  the  leaf  tissue  and  flower  buds  and 
conceal  themselves  by  tying  several  leaves  together  or  folding  over 
a single  leaf. 

Food  Plants. — Rose,  carnation  and  various  out-of-door  plants 
such  as  orchard  trees  and  small  fruits  are  likely  to  become  infested. 

Life  History — Thirty  or  more  yellowish-green  eggs  are  laid  in 
compact  masses  on  the  upper  leaf  surface.  They  hatch  in  about  two 
weeks,  and  the  greenish-yellow  larvse  feed  at  first  on  the  leaf  tissue 
and  later  on  the  petals  and  buds.  The  mature  larva,  which  is 
from  24  to  % of  an  inch  long  and  olive  green,  pupates  within  a 
folded  leaf  or  bud,  and  two  or  three  weeks  later  the  adult  moth 
emerges.  This  is,  of  course,  active  only  at  night. 


7 

Control. — Spray  with  arsenate  of  lead  when  the  plants  are  set 
out.  This  should  be  supplemented  by  handpicking  if  the  foliage 
is  too  dense  to  apply  the  spray  properly. 

The  Variegated  Cutworm 
( Peridroma  margaritosa  Haw.) 


d 

Fig.  5 — Peridroma  sancia;  a,  moth;  b,  normal  form  of  larva,  lateral  view; 

c,  same  in  curved  position ; d,  dark  form,  dorsal  view ; e,  egg  from 
side;  f,  egg  mass  on  twig.  (After  Howard.) 

The  caterpillar  when  full  grown  is  usually  dull , blackish  brown, 
mottled  with  gray,  with  rozv  of  4 to  6 yellowish  spots  along  middle 

of  back. 

Injury. — Leaves,  stems,  flower  buds  and  tender  shoots  are  eaten 

by  these  insects. 

Food  Plants. — Various  greenhouse  plants  are  injured,  especially 
carnation,  chrysanthemum,  smilax,  sweet  pea,  asparagus,  violet, 
rose  and  pansy. 

Life  History. — The  parent  moth  lays  from  three  hundred  to  five 
hundred  eggs  in  masses  of  sixty  or  more.  They  hatch  in  five  or 
six  days  and  the  larvae  feed  on  the  leaves  and  buds.  They  are 
active  only  at  night  and  hide  during  the  day.  At  the  end  of  twen- 
ty-five or  thirty  days  they  are  full  grown  and  about  \y2  inches 
long.  Pupation  takes  place  in  the  soil,  requiring  from  fifteen  to 


8 


twenty  days,  after  which  the  moths  appear.  These  live  only  a 
week  or  ten  days,  during  which  time  they  are  active  and  deposit 
eggs  only  at  night. 

Control. — Sod  soil  likely  to  contain  cut  worms  should  be  sterilized 
before  using.  According  to  Mr.  J.  J.  Davis,  1 pound  of  Paris 
green  to  16  pounds  of  bran,  moistened  (not  thoroughly  wet)  gives 
good  results,  a small  quantity  being  placed  in  a pile  at  the  base  of 
alternate  plants.  Lettuce  leaves  lightly  dusted  with  Paris  green 
is  another  poison  bait.  The  Florist’s  Review  states  that  corn  meal 
mixed  with  enough  Paris  green  to  color  it  and  scattered  among  in- 
fested plants  is  good.  Watering,  however,  should  be  avoided  six  or 
eight  hours  before  and  after  applying.  Handpicking  is  sometimes 
practical  in  a small  house. 

The  Florida  Fern  Cut  Worm 

( Eriopus  florid ensis  Guen.)

size.  (After  J.  J.  Davis.) 


9 


Fig.  7 — The  Florida  fern  caterpillar,  adult,  nearly  twice  natural  size.  After 
J.  J.  Davis.) 

The  adult  is  a rather  attractive  brozvnish  moth,  with  variegated 
wings;  length  of  body,  about  y2  inch ; wing  spread , l}i  inches. 
7 wo  forms  of.  caterpillars  occur,  one  a pale  green  and  the  other 
a velvety  black. 

Injury. — The  larvae  feed  on  all  portions  of  the  plant,  completely 
stripping  it  in  a few  days. 

Food  Plants. — Adiantum,  cyrtomium,  nephrolepis,  pteris,  polypo- 
dium, blechnum  and  other  varieties  of  ferns  are  subject  to  injury. 

Life  History. — The  eggs  are  laid  singly  on  the  under  surface  of 
the  tips  of  the  leaflets.  These  hatch  in  about  a week  and  the  young 
larvae  feed  on  the  tender  leaves,  usually  at  night.  As  they  become 
older  they  hide  during  the  day,  if  the  house  is  light,  at  the  base  of 
the  plant  or  in  the  soil.  Two  forms  of  caterpillars  occur,  one  a 
light  green  and  the  other  a velvety  black.  At  the  end  of  ten  days 
or  two  weeks  they  are  full  grown  and  enter  the  soil  to  pupate,  the 
moths  appearing  about  twelve  or  fourteen  days  later. 

Control. — Spray  with  fresh  pyrethrum,  1 ounce  to  1 gallon  of 
water,  plus  ^4  ounce  of  soap..  Applications  should  be  made  once 
a week  for  five  or  six  weeks.  It  may  be  necessary,  if  the  cater- 
pillars are  numerous,  to  supplement  the  spray  by  handpicking  the 
caterpillars  and  “swatting”  the  moths  at  dusk  when  they  are  active. 

The  Alternanthera  Worm 
( Hymenia  perspectalis  Hubn.) 


10 


Fig.  9 — Alternanthera  worm,  adult,  enlarged.  (After  J.  J.  Davis.) 

The  full  grown  larva  is  about  y2  an  inch  long,  shining  green,  with 
rows  of  small  black  dots  on  its  back. 

Injury — The  larvae  feed  on  the  foliage  of  Alternanthera  varieties. 

Food  Plants — Alternanthera  varieties. 

Life  History. — The  eggs  are  laid  singly  on  the  stem  of  the  plant 
near  its  base.  Upon  hatching  the  larva  first  feeds  on  the  under 
surface  of  new  leaves  and  later  eats  the  entire  leaf.  As  it  becomes 
larger,  it  feeds  only  at  night,  hiding  during  the  day  at  the  base  of 
the  plant.  Pupation  takes  place  in  a thin  loose  cocoon  found  on 
the  wall  of  the  pot  or  at  the  base  of  the  plant,  an  entire  life  cycle 
requiring  from  two  to  three  months. 

Control. — Spray  with  arsenate  of  lead,  1 ounce  to  1 gallon  of 
water.  Apply  it  in  a fine  mist-like  condition  so  as  to  coat  the 
foliage  completely  without  getting  much  on  the  soil.  Handpicking 
is  also  necessary,  especially  if  the  plants  are  in  pots. 

The  Azalea  Leaf  Caterpillar 
( Gracilaria  zachrysa  Meyrick.) 

Azaleas  are  sometimes  injured  by  a small,  pale  green  cater- 
pillar which  first  mines  the  leaf  and  later  turns  over  the  tip,  feeding 
therein,  causing  it  to  turn  black  and  die.  Pupation  takes  place  in 
a slender,  whitish  cocoon  usually  attached  to  the  leaf  near  the 
injured  portion.  The  adult  is  a small  moth  and  in  severe  infesta- 
tions, the  azalea  plant  presents  an  unsightly  appearance  with  the  tip 
of  every  leaf  black  and  dead.  This  pest  was  introduced  from 
Europe  and  as  yet  has  not  become  widely  established. 

The  Water-lily  Leaf  Cutter 

( Nymphula  obliteralis  Wlk.) 

Water  lilies  and  other  aquatic  plants  are  sometimes  injured  by  an 
aquatic  caterpillar  which  cuts  oval  pieces  out  of  the  leaves  and  fas- 


11 


tens  them  together  forming  a flattened,  lens-shaped  case  which  pro- 
tects it  as  it  moves  about  and  feeds  on  the  leaves.  This  is  some- 
times quite  a serious  pest  where  aquatic  plants  are  raised  and  is 
usually  gotten  rid  of  by  hand  picking.  The  larval  cases  are  readily 
seen  being  about  three  quarters  of  an  inch  in  length.  Sometimes  the 
leaves  of  the  water  lilies  are  sprayed  lightly  when  dry  with  arsenate 
of  lead.  If  much  force  is  used,  the  spray,  of  course,  submerges  the 
leaves  and  fails  to  coat  them. 


Fuller’s  Rose  Beetle 
(Aramigus  fulleri  Horn) 


Fig.  10 — Fuller’s  rose  beetle,  Aramigus  fulleri ; a,  larva;  b,  pupa;  c.  beetle, 
side  view ; d,  same,  dorsal  view ; e,  eggs  enlarged  and  natural  size. 
(From  Riley.) 

The  brown  or  gray  snout  beetle  from  % °f  an  1 nc h l°ng> 

rests  during  the  day  under  leaves,  clinging  motionless  to  twigs. 

Injury. — This  insect  is  destructive  in  both  adult  and  larval  stages.. 
The  larvae  feed  on  the  roots  of  their  food  plants  and  the  beetles  at- 
tack the  foliage,  buds  and  flowers. 

Food  Plants. — Rose,  geranium,  gardenia,  azalea,  abutilon,  be- 
gonia, lily,  primrose,  camellia,  palm  and  canna,  have  been  known 
to  be  attacked. 

Life  History. — Pale  yellow  eggs  1/20  of  an  inch  long  are  de- 
posited in  batches  of  ten  to  sixty  under  loose  bark  at  base  of  plant,, 
just  above  the  ground.  These  hatch  in  one  month  and  the  larvae 
enter  the  soil  and  feed  on  the  roots  for  from  one  to  three  months. 
Pupation  takes  place  in  the  ground  and  the  beetles  which  emerge 
later  are  long-lived  and  hardy.  All  stages  of  the  insect  can  be 


12 


found  during  the  winter  and  early  spring  months.  As  a rule  the 
beetles  feed  after  dusk  and  are  quiet  during  the  day,  resting  con- 
cealed under  leaves  and  clinging  to  twigs  so  as  to  escape  detection. 
They  are  sluggish  of  movement  and  are  unable  to  fly. 

Control. — Hand  pick  and  destroy  the  beetles.  A few  drops  of 
carbon  bisulphide  injected  here  and  there  about  the  roots  will  de- 
stroy the  larvae.  Tobacco  dust  applications  about  the  roots  are  also 
helpful. 


The  Rose  Midge 
( Neocerata  rhodophaga  Coq.) 


Fig.  11 — Rose  midge,  Neocerata  rhodophaga,  female,  enlarged  and  one  an- 
tenna more  enlarged.  Length  of  body  one-twentieth  of  an  inch. 
(After  J.  J.  Davis.) 

Fig.  11a — Rose  midge,  male,  length  of  body,  about  one  twenty-fifth  inch. 
(After  J.  J.  Davis.) 

White  maggots  within  brownish  or  black  flower  or  leaf  buds  of 
rose. 

Injury. — The  buds  become  disfigured  and  deformed,  finally  turn- 
ing black  and  dying. 

Food  Plants. — Roses,  such  as  American  Beauty,  Uncle  John, 
Killarney,  Liberty,  Richmond,  Meteor,  Wooton,  Bride,  Madame 
Chatenay,  La  France  and  others,  have  been  known  to  be  injured. 


13 


Life  History. — The  adult  is  a small  fly  or  midge  which  deposits 
very  small,  yellowish  eggs  beneath  the  sepals  of  the  flower  buds  or 
between  the  folded  leaves  of  the  leaf  buds.  The  eggs  hatch  in  a 
couple  of  days  and  the  maggots  feed  inside,  sometimes  twenty  to 
thirty  occurring  in  a single  bud.  In  a week’s  time  they  are  full 
grown,  make  their  way  out  and  drop  to  the  ground  in  which  they 
pupate,  this  stage  also  lasting  about  one  week.  From  June  until 
November  they  are  most  troublesome. 

Control.- — Rotate  crops.  Plant  infested  range  to  some  other  crop 
for  a year,  as  the  midge  is  known  to  attack  only  roses.  If  this  is 
not  possible  it  will  be  necessary  to  clean  the  house  thoroughly  in 
mid-winter,  say  in  December  or  January,  when  the  soil  insects  are 
dormant.  Plants  should  be  destroyed,  soil  removed  from  benches 
and  placed  some  distance  from  houses.  Rubbish  beneath  benches 
should  be  removed  and  floors  and  benches  sprayed  with  20  per  cent 
kerosene  emulsion.  New  soil  and  new  clean  plants  must  take  the 
place  of  the  old.  This  method  lias  a disadvantage  in  that  the  prices 
of  roses  are  usually  highest  at  the  time  it  must  be  carried  out. 

The  Chrysanthemum  Leaf  Miner  or  Marguerite  Fly 
( Phytomza  chrysanthemi  Kowarz) 

Small,  grayish  flies  about  1/12  of  an  inch  long.  Can  be  seen  crawl- 
ing slowly  or  resting  on  plants. 


Fig.  12 — Dorsal  view  of  adult  female  marguerite  fly,  Phytomyza  chrysan- 
themi, enlarged.  (After  M.  T.  Smulyan.) 


Fig.  13 — Leaf  showing  work  of  larva  or  maggot.  (After  M.  T.  Smulyan.) 

Injury. — The  colorless  larvae  mine  the  leaves,  their  irregular 
whitish  lines  and  blotches  often  taking  up  an  entire  leaf  surface.  In 
addition  to  the  disfigurement  of  the  foliage,  growth  is  interfered 
with  and  the  size  and  the  number  of  flowers  are  often  reduced. 

Food  Plants. — Chrysanthemum,  marguerite,  and  feverfew  seem 
to  be  the  favorite  plants.  It  is  also  known  to  attack  helianthus, 
tansy,  goldenrod,  ragweed,  white  daisy,  dandelion  and  others. 

Life  History. — Each  female  deposits  from  125  to  150  eggs,  every 
one  being  laid  singly  in  a slit  made  by  the  ovipositor  between  the 
skin  and  flesh  of  the  under  surface  of  the  leaf.  The  eggs  hatch 
within  a week  and  the  larvje  feed  immediately  under  the  epidermis 
of  the  upper  surface.  At  the  end  of  two  or  three  weeks,  they  are 
full  grown  and  pupate  in  the  larval  mine,  the  pupal  stage  lasting 
about  two  weeks.  The  average  life  cycle  is  about  thirty-three  days, 
the  exact  length  of  time  depending  on  the  temperature  under  which 
the  plants  are  grown. 

Control. — Apply  “Black  Leaf  40“  diluted  from  400  to  450  times 
in  water  with  the  addition  of  1 pound  of  good  laundry  soap  to  every 


15 


30  gallons,  every  eleven  or  twelve  days  or  oftener  if  the  tempera- 
ture is  high.  Spray  both  sides  of  the  leaves,  especially  the  lower 

one. 

The  Chrysanthemum  Midge 
( Riiopalomyia  hypogcca  H.  Lw.) 

In  the  Journal  of  Economic  Entomology  Vol.  8,  p.  367,  Dr.  E.  P. 
Felt  gives  an  account  of  the  injury  by  this  insect  to  chrysanthemums 
in  which  he  states  that  the  base  of  the  stem  was  swollen  to  nearly 
twice  the  normal  diameter  and  that  swollen  masses  of  tissue  oc- 
curred in  and  near  the  mid-rib  of  the  developing  leaves,  stopping 
growth  and  resulting  in  a deformed  head.  The  adult  is  a midge  or 
small  fly  and  inside  of  the  galls  or  swellings  are  found  the  maggots 
or  larvae.  Dr.  Felt  states  that  the  species  is  of  European  origin  and 
that  the  initial  attack  is  usually  confined  to  buds  or  tissue  just  un- 
folding, including  subterranean  buds  on  root  stalks.  As  far  as  is 
known,  this  pest  has  been  found  only  in  Michigan.  Cutting  and 
burning  of  infested  parts  or  plants  is  evidently  the  best  course  to 
pursue.

Agr.  Exp.  Sta. ; e,  after  Morrill  Circ.  57,  U.  S.  Dept.  Agr.  Bur. 
Ent.) 


16 


Adults  are  zvhite  winged , yellow  bodied  insects  about  3/50  of  an 
inch  in  length.  The  younger  stages  resembling  scale  insects. 

Injury. — This  consists  in  an  abstraction  of  the  sap  from  the  un- 
der sides  of  the  leaves  by  both  the  nymphs  and  the  adults.  If  the 
attack  is  severe,  the  leaves  dry  up  and  die. 

Food  Plants. — Geranium,  tomato,  cucumber,  melon,  lettuce, 
coleus,  primula,  rose,  eggplant,  lantana,  fuchia,  salvia,  helliotrope, 
aster  and  others  are  all  subject  to  injury  by  this  pest. 

Life  History. — Eggs  are  attached  to  the  under  surface  of  the  leaf 
and  hatch  in  about  two  weeks.  The  nymphs  suck  the  sap  from  the 
leaves  and  in  four  or  five  weeks,  adults  appear,  there  being  many 
generations  in  a greenhouse. 

Control. — Spraying  is  unsatisfactory  because  it  is  hard  to  reach 
many  of  the  insects.  Tobacco  is  also  unsatisfactory.  The  best 
remedy  is  fumigation  with  hydrocyanic  acid  gas.  (See  directions 
for  fumigation,  p.  41.) 


The  Common  Red  Spider 
( Tetranychus  telarius  Linn.) 


Fig.  15 — All  stages  of  greenhouse  mite:  1,  egg;  2,  larva;  3,  protonymph; 
4,  deutonymph ; 5,  adult.  (After  Ewing.) 


17 


Small  spider  like  creatures  about  1/75  of  an  inch  long  are  present , 
with  a spotting  and  discoloration  of  the  foliage. 

Injury. — As  a rule  the  injury  is  confined  to  the  under  surface  of 
leaves  and  consists  of  an  abstraction  of  sap,  leaving  small  yellowish 
or  white  spots.  In  severe  attacks  the  leaves  become  dried  up  and 

dead. 

Food  Plants. — This  mite  has  a wide  range  of  food  plants  which 
includes  rose,  violet,  carnation,  clematis,  abutilon,  fuchia,  bouvardia, 
verbena,  salvia,  phlox,  chrysanthemum,  smilax,  palm,  aspidistra,  etc. 

Life  History. — From  ten  to  fifty  small,  spherical,  glassy  eggs  are 
loosely  attached  about  the  webs  which  the  mites  spin.  These  hatch 
in  from  three  to  seven  days  and  the  young,  pinkish  white  mites  have 
only  three  pairs  of  legs.  After  the  first  moult  they  have  four  pairs. 
They  moult  three  times  before  becoming  adults,  each  stage  lasting 
three  or  four  days.  The  length  of  the  life  of  the  adult  is  about 
three  or  four  weeks,  but  varies  somewhat,  depending  on  the  temper- 
ature. 

Control. — Mites  resist  fumigation  with  tobacco  or  hydrocyanic 
acid  gas.  Painting  sulphur  on  the  pipes  is  also  ineffective.  Use 
kerosene  emulsion,  1 to  10  parts  of  water.  Flowers  of  sulphur  1 
ounce  to  1 gallon  of  water  alone  or  combined  with  soap  suds  is 
good.  Spray  lower  sides  of  leaves.  Do  not  apply  with  a watering 
can.  Neutral  soaps  such  as  ivory,  one  5-cent  cake  to  6 gallons  of 
water  can  be  used.  Shave  soap  fine,  dissolve  in  hot  water  and  add 
cold  water  to  make  6 gallons.  Allow  the  soap  to  remain  on  plants 
for  2 or  3 hours  and  then  syringe  with  clear  water.  The  above  solu- 
tion will  not  kill  eggs.  Spraying  must  be  repeated  until  plants  are 
free.  Tobacco  extracts  plus  soap  are  also  effective.  Prevention  is 
best  policy.  Use  clear  water  at  a pressure  of  25  pounds.  Wash  off 
the  mites  and  avoid  drenching  the  beds.  In  winter,  do  the  work  on 
a bright  day  so  that  the  plants  will  dry  off  rapidly.  Wet  the  walks 
etc.,  so  that  the  house  does  not  become  too  dry.  A dry  atmosphere 
and  a high  temperature  will  promote  the  development  of  the  mites.

The  Cattleya  Fly 
(Isosoma  orchidearum  Westw.) 


Fig.  16 — Orchid  bud  injured  by  larvae  of  “Cattleya  Fly,”  Isosoma  orchid- 
earum,. (After  J.  J.  Davis.) 

Fig.  17 — “Cattleya  Fly,”  adult,  length  about  1/7  of  an  inch.  (After  J.  J. 
Davis.) 

Swollen  buds  containing  small  white  maggots. 

Injury. — The  infested  bulbs  become  swollen,  hollowed  out  inside 
and  fail  to  produce  flowers. 

Food  Plants. — Orchids  of  the  genus  Cattleya  are  subject  to  at- 
tack. 

Life  History. — The  adults  are  small,  clear  winged,  black  bodied 
wasp-like  insects.  The  female  has  a long  ovipositor,  by  means  of 
which  the  eggs  are  deposited,  in  the  centre  of  the  small  flower  bulb 
near  the  base.  From  one  to  eight  larvae  are  found  in  one  bulb  and 
their  feeding  produces  a cavity  in  the  centre,  which,  of  course,  de- 
stroys the  embryo  flower  bud. 

Control. — -Fumigation  once  a week  with  nicotine  extracts  is 
recommended  to  kill  the  adults.  This  must  be  done  while  they  are 
emerging  and  is  an  uncertain  practice.  Besides,  it  sometimes  in- 
jures the  flowers.  The  practice  of  cutting  and  destroying  the  in- 
fested bulbs  once  a week  will,  if  adherred  to  regularly,  give  consid- 
erable freedom.  This  must  be  done  by  an  experienced  man,  other- 
wise many  good  bulbs  will  be  destroyed. 


19 

The  Orchid  Root  Borer 

( Castnia  therapon  Koll.) 

Large  pinkish  white  larva  boring  in  rhizome. 

Injury. — The  roots  and  bulbs  are  hollowed  out  and  destroyed. 

Food  Plants. — Oncidimn  crispum,  catasetum  sp.  amd  Cattleya 
labiata,  are  at  present  the  only  recorded  food  plants. 

Life  History  — - The  large  pinkish  white  larva  bores  through  the 
rhizome  and  up  into  the  bulb.  The  adult  is  a rather  large  showy 
moth  and  a native  of  Brazil. 

Control. — Destroy  infested  parts  of  the  plant. 

The  Orchid  Bulb  Borer 
( Eucactophagus  graphipterus  Champ.) 

White,  grub-like  larva  in  bidb. 

Injury. — This  larva  destroys  the  interior  of  the  bulb  and  paves 
the  way  for  decay. 

Food  Plants. — Lycaste,  Odontoglossum  and  various  other  species 
having  large  soft  bulbs  have  been  found  to  contain  this  pest. 

Life  History — The  adult  is  a large  weevil  having  a light 
band  on  its  back.  The  larva  excavates  a large  cavity  in  the  bulb 
destroying  much  of  the  interior.  Pupation  takes  place  inside  of  the 
bulb  and  the  adults  feed  on  leaves  and  other  portions  of  the  plant. 
Infested  bulbs  can  be  detected  by  pressing  slightly  with  thumb  and 
forefinger  upon  which  the  tissue  over  the  cavity  gives  in. 

Control. — Destroy  infested  bulbs. 

The  Cattleya  Midge 
( Parallelodiplosis  cattleya  Moll.) 

Yellowish  maggot  in  swelling  near  the  tip  of  root. 

Injury. — The  injury  consists  in  a reduction  of  the  vitality  of  the 

plant. 

Food  Plants. — Cattleya  spp.  and  other  orchids  have  been  found 
infested. 

Life  History.— The  larvae  of  this  midge  live  as  yellowish  maggots 
in  an  unsightly  gall  or  swelling  near  the  tips  of  the  roots. 

Control. — Destruction  of  infested  roots  should  be  practiced.  Do 
not  introduce  infested  orchids  in  a house  that  is  free  of  them.

The  Greenhouse  Thrips 
( Heliothrips  hccmorrhoidalis  Bouche) 


Fig.  18- — Greenhouse  thrips,  Heliothrips  hccmorrhoidalis,  adult  female,  en- 
larged about  50  diameters.  Greatly  enlarged  antenna  beneath.  (Af- 
ter H.  M.  Russell  in  Circ.  151  U.  S.  Dept.  Agr.  Bur.  Ent.) 

Very  dark  small  brown  active  insects  about  1/24  of  an  inch  long. 

Injury. — The  adults  and  larvae  puncture  the  epidermis,  lacerate 
the  tissue  and  suck  out  the  juices  and  vegetable  matter.  Injured 
leaves  become  full  of  tiny  pale  spots.  As  the  attack  continues,  these 
unite  and  become  blotches.  Leaves  become  limp,  yellow  and  finally 
drop  off. 

Food  Plants-  -This  insect  has  a wide  range  of  food  plants  such 
as  rose,  azalea,  carnation,  palm,  rubber  plant,  fuchsia,  croton,  aspi- 
distra, dahlia,  phlox,  verbena  and  others. 

Life  History. — Eggs  are  laid  in  the  leaf  tissue  and  hatch  in  eight 
days.  The  larvae  feed  in  colonies  from  ten  to  twenty  days,  depend- 
ing on  the  temperature,  and  the  pupal  stage  lasts  from  four  to  six 
days,  there  being  many  generations  in  a greenhouse. 


21 


Control. — Fumigate  with  fresh,  standard  nicotine  papers  using 
about  2 sheets  for  every  1000  cubic  feet  of  space.  Do  the  work  at 
night  in  a moist  atmosphere  and  air  thoroughly  the  next  morning. 

Liquid  extracts  of  nicotine  as  fumigants  are  used  at  the  rate  of  1 
ounce  of  40  per  cent  extract  to  every  1000  cubic  feet  of  space.  The 
material  is  evaporated  over  small  lamps  or  stoves  and  to  prevent 
scorching  should  be  diluted  with  2 parts  of  water  to  1 part  of  the 
material.  The  fumigation  should  be  done  at  night  in  tightly  closed 
houses.  Syringing  will  keep  the  insects  down  slightly.  Spraying 
with  nicotine  extracts  and  kerosene  emulsion  will  kill  large  numbers 
but  many  of  them  feed  in  concealed  places  and  are  not  hit.  A 
formula  which  many  rose  growers  in  New  Jersey  have  used  dur- 
ing the  past  several  years,  consists  of  a mixture  of  Paris  green, 
sugar  and  water.  The  horticulturist  of  the  New  Jersey  Agricultural 
Experiment  Station,  according  to  his  1914  report,  tried  out  various 
mixtures  along  these  lines  and  found  that  the  application  to  Ameri- 
can Beauty  Roses  of  3 pounds  white  sugar,  from  1 to  2 tablespoon- 
fuls of  Paris  green  and  12  quarts  of  water  gave  no  serious  burning. 
The  mixture  is  applied  as  a spray.  Do  not  use  molasses  or  brown 
sugar,  as  injury  to  foliage  may  result.  All  treatments  should  be  re- 
peated in  seven  to  ten  days,  sometimes  a third  one  being  necessary. 

Plant  Lice 

Small  greenish,  brown  or  black  sucking  insects  found  on  under 
side  of  leaves  and  around  tender  shoots. 

Injury. — Aphids  are  equipped  with  sucking  mouth  parts  and  their 
continued  drain  upon  the  sap  supply  weakens  and  stunts  the  growth 
of  the  plant  and  disfigures  the  foliage. 

Food  Plants.  — Various  species  of  the  plant  lice  are  found  in 
greenhouses,  such  as  Aphis  gossypii  Glover  on  cucumber,  althaea, 
Easter  Lily,  Aphis  hederae  Kalt  on  English  Ivy,  Aphis  nerii  Fonsc 
on  oleander,  Aphis  rufomaculata  Wils.  (green)  and  Macrosiphum 
sanborni  Gill,  (black)  on  chrysanthemum,  Rhopalosiphum,  violae 
Pergande  on  the  violet,  Macrosiphum  rosae  and  Myzus  rosarum 
Kalt  on  the  rose  and  Myzus  persicae  Sulz.  on  carnation,  asparagus, 
fern  and  primula. 

Life  History. — Plant  lice  have  an  exceedingly  complicated  life 
history.  For  general  purposes  it  is  sufficient  only  to  know  that  liv- 
ing young  are  born  the  greater  part  of  the  year,  that  winged  and 
wingless  females  are  developed,  the  former  being  responsible  in  the 


majority  of  cases  for  the  spread  of  the  species  from  plant  to  plant. 
Reproduction  is  rapid,  each  female  giving  birth  to  one  or  two  dozen 
young  in  a short  time.  Young  shoots,  flower  buds  and  the  under 
side  of  leaves  are  attacked. 

Control. — Fumigate  with  tobacco  extracts  or  papers.  Cut  blooms 
first.  Make  house  tight  and  have  atmosphere  moist.  Number  of 
papers  depends  on  tightness  of  house.  Papers  are  hung  up  and 
lighted.  Fumigate  at  night  or  on  a cloudy  day,  never  in  bright  sun- 
light. Syringe  the  plants  thoroughly  after  fumigation.  Two  or 
three  applications  are  sometimes  necessary.  Spraying  with  nicotine 
extracts  and  soap  is  also  recommended.  (See  directions  for  fumi- 
gation, p.  41.) 

Mealy  Bugs 

( Pseudococcus  citri  & P.  longispinus) 


Fig.  19 — Mealy  bugs : at  left,  Pseudococcus  longispinus ; at  right,  P.  citri. 

(After  Comstock.) 

Scalelike,  oval,  elongate  insects  1/12  to  1/8  of  an  inch  long  cov- 
ered with  white  mealy  powder. 

Injury. — These  insects  suck  the  juices,  causing  loss  of  color,  fol- 
lowed by  wilting  and  death  of  infested  parts. 

Food  Plants. — They  are  found  on  many  greenhouse  plants  such  as 
the  bay  tree,  palm,  rubber  plant,  coleus,  geranium,  etc. 

Life  History. — Two  species  are  found  in  greenhouses,  their  life 
history  being  practically  the  same.  The  female  lays  from  300  to 
500  eggs  in  a mass  beneath  the  tip  of  the  abdomen  and  covers  it  with 
white  waxy  filaments.  Egg  laying  continues  for  a week  or  ten  days, 


twenty  to  thirty  eggs  being  laid  every  twenty-four  hours.  They 
hatch  in  two  weeks  and  the  larva;  resemble  the  adults  except  that 
their  bodies  are  not  covered  at  first  with  wax.  Insects  of  all  sizes 
can  be  found  on  the  plant  at  the  same  time,  mostly  on  the  under 
side  of  the  leaves,  along  the  ribs  and  veins  and  in  crevices  between 
the  stem  and  leaves.  The  males  are  small  winged  insects,  which  are 
rarely  seen. 

Control. — -Fumigate  with  tobacco  extracts  or  paper.  (See  remedy 
for  Aphis.)  Dip  the  infested  plants  in  Aphine  at  the  rate  of  1 part 
to  20  of  water. 


The  Kentia  Mealy  Bug 
(. Pseudococcus  pseudaonipce  Ckll.) 


Fig  20 — Kentia  mealy  bug,  Pseudococcus  pseudaonipae  Ckll.  on  under  side 
of  palm  leaf.  (After  E.  O.  Essig.) 

General  Appearance. — This  me&ly  bug  can  be  distinguished  from 
others  by  the  cream  colored  wax  which  is  arranged  on  the  body  seg- 
ments in  rows  of  small  patches  and  by  the  7-jointed  antennae. 


24 

Food  Plants. — This  is  a serious  pest  at  times  on  palms  of  the 
species  Kentia  and  Cocos.  It  collects  in  large  masses  on  the  under 
surface  of  the  leaves,  weakening  the  plant  and  making  it  unsightly 
and  unsalable. 

Control. — Scrub  off  by  hand,  using  weak  soap  solutions. 


The  Greenhouse  Orthezia 
( Orthezia  insignis  Dough) 


Fig.  21 — The  greenhouse  Orthezia  on  Lantana  leaf.  Twice  natural  size. 

(After  W.  E.  Britton.) 

General  Appearance. — These  insects  are  similar  to  mealy  bugs  and 
crawl  about  during  all  stages.  Their  bodies  are  covered  with  plates 
of  a white  waxy  secretion.  There  are  several  generations  a year. 
The  eggs  are  carried  in  a white  egg  sac  fastened  to  the  body  of  the 
female  at  its  posterior  end.  As  the  young  grow  their  bodies  become 
covered  with  wax  and  when  full  grown  are  completely  hidden. 

Food  Plants. — Coleus,  amaranthus,  chrysanthemum,  lantana,  ver- 
bena, gardenia,  salvia,  etc.,  are  all  likely  to  become  infested. 

Control. — See  remedy  for  mealy  bugs. 


25 

The  Soft  Brown  Scale 
( Coccus  hesperidum  Linn.) 


Fig.  22 — Soft  brown  scale,  Coccus  hesperidum  Linn.,  on  orange  twig.  (Af- 
ter Essig,  P.  C.  Jr.  Ent) 

General  Appearance. — This  is  a flat,  oval,  soft  scale  varying  from 
almost  colorless  to  dark  brown  and  sometimes  black.  When  full 
grown,  it  is  almost  of  an  inch  in  length.  The  young  are  born 
.alive,  moult  twice  and  come  to  maturity  and  produce  young  in  about 
65  days. . Copious  amounts  of  honey  dew  are  excreted  by  these 
scales,  and  as  a result  the  black  fungus  which  grows  on  the  honey 
dew  is  always  present. 

Food  Plants, — The  bay  tree,  croton,  palm,  begonia,  cyclamen,  fern, 


26 

citrus  plants,  calla  lily,  rose,  oleander,  camellia  and  many  others 
are  subject  to  this  scale. 

Control. — See  Scale  Insect  Remedies,  p.  38. 

The  Black  Scale 
( Saissetia  olecc  Bern) 

General  Appearance. — This  scale  is  quite  large  and  convex  with  a 
prominent  ridge  down  the  middle  of  the  back  and  two  transverse 
ridges,  the  three  forming  a distinct  letter  H.  In  color  it  is  a dark 
brown  to  almost  black.  The  female  lays  from  1500  to  2000  eggs 
over  a period  of  two  months.  These  hatch  in  fifteen  to  twenty 
days  and  the  adult  female  is  full  grown  in  from  eight  to  ten  months- 
The  eggs  are  laid  under  the  body  of  the  female  which  gradually  be- 
comes hollow  until  it  is  simply  a hemisphere  full  of  eggs.  This  scale 
does  not  loose  the  power  of  locomotion  until  late  in  life  and  it  feeds 
on  both  leaves  and  stems. 

Food  Plants. — Recorded  food  plants  are  citrus,  palm,  oleander,, 
rubber  plant,  Cycas  fevoluta,  stag  horn  fern  and  others. 

Control. — See  Scale  Insect  Remedies,  p.  38. 

The  Hemispherical  Scale 
( Saissetia  hemisphcc  rica  Targ) 


Fig.  23 — Hemispherical  scale  on  fern.  (After  W.  E.  Britton.) 


27 


General  Appearance.-. — This  is  easily  distinguished  from  the  black 
scale,  by  its  smooth  shiny  surface,  light  brown  color  and  absence  of 
the  ridges  forming  the  letter  H.  From  500  to  1000  eggs  are  de- 
posited beneath  the  body  of  the  female  and  the  young  settle  along 
the  mid  ribs  and  veins.  They  remain  here  for  four  to  six  weeks  and 
then  migrate  to  the  stems  and  stay  there  permanently.  Sometimes 
the  insects  are  found  on  the  edges  of  the  leaves.  A full  life  cycle 
requires  from  five  to  six  months. 

Food  Plants. — Fern,  croton,  citrus  plants,  palm,  orchid,  alternan- 
thera,  oleander,  abutilon  and  many  others. 

Control.— See  Scale  Insect  Remedies,  p.  38. 

The  Pineapple  Scale 
{ Diaspis  bror.icH  v Kern. ) 




Fig.  24 — Pineapple  scale,  Diaspis  br  dm  elite  Kern.  (After  E.  O.  Essig.) 

General  Appearance. — The  female  scale  coverings  are  thin,  cir- 
cular and  almost  pure  white  in  color,  with  exuviae  yellow.  The 
females  burrow  into  the  leaves  and  become  almost  hidden. 

Food  Plants. — Pineapple,  sago  palm,  Olea  fragrans,  canna,  etc. 
Control. — See  Scale  Insect  Remedies,  p.  38.

The  Circular  Scale 
( Chrysomphalus  aonidum  Linn.) 


Fig.  25 — Circular  scale,  Chrysomphalus  aonidum  on  rubber  plant.  (After 
W.  E.  Britton.) 

General  Appearance. — Mature  female  scale  covering  is  circular, 
convex,  quite  large,  with  a nipple  like  protuberance  in  the  centre 
which  is  grayish  and  surrounded  by  a reddish  brown  ring.  Male 
scale  covering  is  smaller  and  slightly  elongate.  Both  sexes  are  dark 
in  color,  almost  black.  Each  female  lays  about  200  eggs. 

Food  Plants. — This  scale  is  common  on  plants  having  fleshy 
leaves,  rubber  plant,  palm,  oleander,  citrus  plants,  Ole  a fragrans , 
cycads,  panadanus,  camellia,  etc. 

Control. — See  Scale  Insect  Remedies,  p.  38. 

Morgan's  Scale 

( Chrysomphalus  dictyospermi  Marg.) 

General  Appearance. — This  is  similar  to  C.  aonidum  but  flatter 
and  lighter  in  color.  Females  give  birth  to  living  young. 

Food  Plants. — This  scale  is  sometimes  quite  a serious  pest  on 
palms  and  it  occurs  also  on  cycas,  latania,  etc. 

Control. — See  Scale  Insect  Remedies,  p.  38.

Cottony  Cushion  Scale 
{I  eery  a purchasi  Mask.) 


Fig.  26 — Cottoiw  cushion  scale,  Icerya  purchasi  Mask  on  orange  twig.  (Cal. 

Hort.  Com.) 

General  Appearance. — The  adults  are  easily  recognized  by  the 
large,  white,  fluted  cottony  masses  and  red  or  yellowish  bodies  rang- 
ing from  *4  to  )/?  inch  long.  From  400  to  1000  eggs  are  concealed 
in  the  cottony  masses. 

Food  Plants. — All  citrus  trees,  acacia,  rose,  geranium,  verbena  and 
other  greenhouse  plants  are  subject  to  attack.

The  Fern  Scale 

( Heniichionaspis  aspidistra?  Sign.) 


Fig.  27 — Fern  scale,  Hemichionaspis  aspidistra , female  scale  greatly  en- 
larged. After  j.  J.  Davis.) 

Fig.  28 — Fern  scale,  male  scale,  greatly  enlarged.  (After  J.  J.  Davis.) 

General  Appearance. — Female  scale  covering  is  somewhat  oval, 
yellowish  brown  in  color  and  about  1/16  of  an  inch  in  length.  The 
white  elongate  males  are  more  conspicuous  and  occur  in  greater 
numbers. 

Food  Plants. — Commonly  found  on  aspidistra,  fern,  orchid,  and 
pandanus,  etc.  On  ferns  it  is  usually  found  on  both  sides  of  the 
leaves  at  the  base  of  the  clump. 

Control. — See  Scale  Insect  Remedies,  p.  38. 

The  Greedy  Scale 
( Aspidiotus  rapax  C'omst. ) 

General  Appearance. — The  female  scale  covering  is  very  convex, 
of  a grayish  white  color,  sometimes  tinged  with  yellow,  due  to  the 
showing  through  of  the  body  of  the  insect.  The  exuvia  is  a dark, 
almost  black  spot,  surrounded  by  a white  ring  and  is  slightly  to  one 
side  of  the  centre.  Eggs  are  laid  by  the  female  and  the  young  usu- 
ally settle  in  colonies  on  the  trunk  and  branches.  There  are  several 
generations  a year  in  a greenhouse. 

Food  Plants. — Laurus,  orange,  fuchsia,  lemon,  camellia,  fig,  sal- 
via, acacia,  ivy.

The  Oleander  Scale 
( Aspidiotus  hederce  Vail.) 


Fig.  29 — White  or  orleander  scale,  Aspidiotus  hederce  on  Croton  leaf.  (Af- 
ter W.  E.  Britton.) 

General  Appearance. — This  is  a common  greenhouse  species,  the 
covering  of  the  female  being  circular,  nearly  white,  slightly  convex, 
with  a pale  orange  spot  in  the  centre  or  slightly  to  one  side.  The 
male  scale  is  white,  slightly  elongate,  with  a central  light  yellow  exu- 
via.  The  eggs  which  are  light  yellow  are  deposited  under  the 
female  scale  and  hatch  in  a few  hours,  the  young  later  settling  on 
the  leaves  and  stems.  From  seventy  to  eighty  days  are  required  for 
development  from  egg  to  adult. 

Food  Plants. — Bay  tree,  oleander,  orchid,  citrus  plants,  cycad, 
palm,  acacia,  ivy,  cyclamen  and  many  others. 

Control. — See  Scale  Insect  Remedies,  p.  38. 


The  Red  or  Orange  Scale 
(Chrys omphalus  aurantii  Mask.) 


Fig.  30 — Red  scale,  Chrvsomphalus  aurantii  Mask,  mature  females  and  young. 

(Bui.  222  Cal.  Agr.  Exp.  Sta.) 

General  Appearance. — This  scale  is  circular  and  flat,  from  1/16  to 

of  an  inch  in  diameter.  The  scale  covering  is  thin  and  allows  the 
red  body  of  the  female  to  show  through.  The  male  scales  are 
smaller,  elongated  and  of  a grayish  or  dark  brown  color.  Young 
are  born  alive  and  remain  under  the  parent  scale  for  several  days. 
Two  and  one-half  months  are  necessary  before  they  become  mature. 

Food  Plants. — Citrus  plants,  palm,  acacia,  fig  and  others  are  at- 
tacked. 

Control. — See  Scale  Insect  Remedies,  P.  38. 

The  Chaff  Scale 
( Parlatoria  pergandii  Comst.) 

General  Appearance. — These  are  small  circular,  elongated  irregu- 
lar scales  dirty  gray  in  color  with  the  exuvia  or  cast  skin  at  one  end. 
The  male  scale  is  long  and  narrow.  Both  the  larvae  and  eggs  are 
purplish  in  color.  The  life  cycle  requires  from  six  weeks  to  two 
months.  This  species  is  quite  prolific,  but  does  not  spread  rapidly. 
It  is  found  mainly  on  the  trunk  and  branches  although  occasionally 
on  the  leaves. 

Food  Plants. — As  a rule  citrus  plants  only  are  attacked. 

Control. — See  Scale  Insect  Remedies,  p.  38.

Fig.  34 — Chrysanthemum,  the  roots  of  which  are  infested  with  gallworm. 
(After  N.  A.  Cobb.) 


Injury. — The  first  symptoms  above  ground  are  a checking  of  the 
growth,  foliage  becoming  light  green  in  color,  not  thrifty.  The 
leaves  curl  and  the  plant  eventually  wilts  and  dies. 

Food  Plants  — Eelworms  are  distributed  everywhere  in  green- 
houses. They  attack  numerous  shade,  fruit  and  ornamental  trees- 
and  plants.  The  foliage  is  sometimes  attacked,  the  infestation  show- 
ing as  brownish  irregularly  circular  blotches. 

Life  History. — Eelworms  are  not  insects  but  microscopic  trans- 
parent and  semi-transparent  creatures  shaped  like  minute  eels  and 
much  lower  in  the  animal  scale  than  insects.  They  are  present 
everywhere  in  the  soil  and  many  forms  live  on  decaying  matter. 
They  are  less  than  1/25  of  an  inch  in  length  and  each  female  de- 
posits from  400  to  500  eggs.  The  worms  enter  the  growing  tips  of 
the  roots  and  work  in,  forming  galls  or  swellings.  The  small,  re- 
cently hatched  worms  make  their  way  to  the  exterior  of  the  roots 
and  seek  new  roots  in  the  soil. 

Control. — Employ  fresh  soil  every  year.  Infested  soil  can  be 
treated  with  commercial  formaldehyde,  2 parts  to  100  parts  of 
water.  If  frames  are  shallow  1 Vi  gallons  is  enough  for  every 


35 


square  yard.  Stir  the  soil  after  the  treatment  so  that  all  parts 
will  be  disinfected.  The  excess  of  formalin  should  be  allowed 
to  escape  before  plants  are  set  out. 

It  seems  probable,  however,  that  soil  bacteria  might  be  killed 
by  this  method.  Steam  sterilization  is  recommended  as  the  best 
method  where  possible.  The  use  of  carbon  bisulphide  as  against 
white  grubs  is  suggested.  Have  clean  plants  to  start  with.  Eel- 
worms  thrive  best  in  a moist  atmosphere. 

Foliar  Eelworms 

Eelworms  or  nematodes  have  been  found  infesting  the  leaves  of 
begonia,  chrysanthemum,  coleus,  bouvardia,  lantana,  salvia,  zin- 
nia, pelargonium,  moonflower  and  fern.  Brownish,  more  or  less 
circular  blotches  appear  on  the  leaves  of  infested  plants.  These 
gradually  enlarge,  becoming  irregular  in  outline,  until  the  leaves 
curl  and  finally  drop  off.  It  is  supposed  that  the  eelworms  are 
present  in  the  soil  and  probably  crawl  up  the  stems  of  plants 
when  the  latter  are  small  and  at  a time  when  the  stems  are  moist. 
Another  theory  is  that  they  are  splashed  upon  the  plants  during 
syringing.  Preventive  measures  can  only  be  suggested,  such  as 
steam  sterilization  of  the  soil  and  the  use  of  clean  plants  to  begin 
with. 


The  Carnation  Bud-Rot  and  the  Mite  Accompanying  It 

Early  in  the  fall  carnation  buds  may  become  deformed  and 
fail  to  open.  If  on  cutting  them  open  a decayed  interior  is  found, 
together  with  several  glistening  egg-like  bodies,  then  the  trouble 
is  due  to  a mite  ( Pediculopsis  graminum  Reuter)  and  the  carna- 
tion bud-rot.  The  egg-like  globules  are  female  mites  with  greatly 
distended  bodies.  The  rot  is  caused  by  a species  of  fungus  Sporo- 
trichum  poae , which  also  causes  the  silver  top  of  June  grass,  and 
the  mite  has  been  found  accompanying  the  disease  in  both  cases. 

It  appears  that  the  mites  bearing  the  disease  spores  are  carried 
into  the  house  during  the  summer  in  the  soil  and  enter  the  im- 
mature flower  buds  as  soon  as  they  appear.  The  spores  there- 
fore find  a favorable  place  in  which  to  develop,  and  decay  finally 
sets  in.  The  trouble  usually  starts  early  in  the  fall  and  the 
injury  becomes  abundant  the  latter  part  of  October  or  first  of 
November.  Lawson  is  the  most  commonly  affected  variety.  Pink 
and  red  varieties  are  only  slightly  infested.  Where  the  blossoms 


36 


are  regularly  picked,  the  injury  disappears  by  January.  Treatment 
consists  in  promptly  picking  and  burning  all  infested  buds. 

White  Grubs 


Fig.  35 — May  beetle:  1,  pupa  in  earthen  cell;  2,  larva  or  white  grub;  3,  4, 
beetle,  from  side  and  above. 

These  larvae  of  May  beetles  or  “June  Bugs”  are  sometimes  in- 
troduced into  greenhouses  in  the  soil  taken  from  composted  sod 
piles,  and  are  capable  of  doing  considerable  damage  by  feeding 
on  the  roots  of  various  plants.  Before  introducing  manure  and 
compost  into  the  house,  it  is  well  to  examine  the  material  for 
these  larvae.  If  they  are  present,  they  can  be  readily  killed  after 
the  soil  is  in  the  benches  and  before  anything  has  been  planted  by 
treatment  with  carbon  bisulphide.  This  consists  in  punching  holes 
in  the  soil  with  a stick  and  introducing  into  each  1 ounce  of  carbon 
bisulphide,  which  amount  is  sufficient  for  1 square  foot.  Just 
before  treatment,  which  should  be  given  at  a temperature  of  about 
70°  F,  the  soil  should  be  wetted  thoroughly.  Before  planting,  the 
soil  should  be  turned  over  and  allowed  to  aerate. 

Caution. — All  lights  and  fires  should  be  kept  away  while  carbon 
bisulphide  is  being  used. 

Sow  Bugs 
( Crustacea ) 

Dark  gray , oval  flat-bodied  creatures,  moving  rapidly  when  ex- 
posed to  light. 


37 


Injury. — These  have  been  known  to  feed  on  roots  and  tender 
portions  of  plants,  such  as  fronds  of  ferns. 

Life  History. — These  creatures  are  commonly  found  under  de- 
caying boards,  rotten  bark  and  other  dark  situations  where  decay 
is  taking  place.  They  are  not  insects  but  land  crustaceans. 

Control. — Trap  by  means  of  little  heaps  of  wet  grass  or  leaves 
or  pieces  of  damp  bark.  Examine  in  the  morning  and  destroy  those 
found.  The  Florist’s  Review  gives  the  following  remedy — “Mix 
2 parts  of  rye  flour,  2 parts  of  sugar  and  1 part  of  Paris  green. 
Scatter  mixture  along  top  of  edge  board  of  greenhouse  bed  or  on 
narrow  board  laths  across  the  soil  in  the  frame  or  hotbed.  The 
board  must  be  dry  or  the  mixture  will  become  too  lumpy  for  the 
sow  bugs  to  eat.  Mix  only  enough  to  use  at  one  time,  as  it  cakes 
and  deteriorates  after  standing.”  A liberal  use  of  tobacco  dust 
will  also  undoubtedly  discourage  them. 

Slugs  and  Snails 

{Mollusc  a) 

Slimy,  dark,  often  spotted  or  striped  creatures  from  of  an 
inch  to  3 or  4 inches  long. 

Injury. — The  injury  consists  in  a destruction  of  the  foliage. 

Food. — Various  greenhouse  plants  are  attacked  by  these  crea- 
tures. 

Life  History. — Cellar  slugs,  field  slugs,  garden  slugs  and  snails 
are  usually  classed  together  by  the  florist  as  snails  or  slugs.  Their 
bodies  are  covered  with  a slimy  secretion  which  sticks  to  whatever 
they  crawl  over,  leaving  a glistening  trail  behind. 

Control. — Camphor  balls  scattered  about  are  said  to  be  effective. 
Tobacco  dust,  ashes,  soot,  etc.,  if  scattered  about  the  pots  so  that 
the  slugs  will  be  compelled  to  cross  them  to  get  to  the  plants  will 
act  as  barriers,  or  coming  in  contact  with  their  slimy  bodies,  will 
kill  them. 

Millipedes 

( Myriopoda ) 

IVorm-like,  hard-shelled  creatures  having  2 pairs  of  legs  on  each 
segment  except  the  first  three. 

Injury. — They  occasionally  attack  roots  and  stems  of  various 
plants. 


38 


Food  Plants. — Normally  they  feed  on  decaying  vegetable  matter. 

Life  History. — They  are  usually  found  in  damp  places  such  as 
under  flower  pots,  etc. 

Control. — Manure  containing  a large  amount  of  decaying  vege- 
table matter  usually  contains  millipedes.  Soot  will  discourage 
them.  Pieces  of  potato  dipped  in  Paris  green  and  covered  over 
night  with  a cabbage  leaf  is  also  recommended. 

Centipedes 
(Myriapod  a) 

Rapidly  moving  creatures,  flat,  hard,  elongate  bodies ; each  seg- 
ment bears  a single  pair  of  legs. 

Injury. — These  are  not  injurious  to  greenhouse  plants. 

Food  plants. — They  are  predaceous  and  feed  on  insects. 

Life  History. — They  usually  live  under  stones,  logs,  bark  and 
under  pots  in  greenhouses. 

Control. — Not  necessary. 

Scale  Insect  Remedies 

Many  scale  insects  are  more  or  less  permanently  established  in 
some  greenhouses  and  are  a constant  source  of  annoyance  and 
expense.  Practically  all  of  them  are  difficult  to  control  success- 
fully, and  most  of  the  insecticides  recommended  for  greenhouse 
use  against  the  scale  insects  are  ineffective.  Many  of  them  will 
kill  scale  larvae,  but  here  their  usefulness  ends.  Other  have 
been  recommended  on  the  strength  of  too  little  experimentation, 
usually  of  a meagre  kind,  which  neglected  to  recognize  the  part 
played  by  atmospheric  conditions  and  other  variable  factors  which 
affect  the  results.  This  is  especially  true  of  many  fumigation  ex- 
periments, which  have  been  conducted  in  a small  box  with  a few 
plants  and  the  results  given  out  as  regular  prescribed  remedies. 
As  a result  of  this  condition,  the  most  effective  work  in  combating 
scale  insects  in  greenhouses  is  done  when  the  plants  are  overhauled 
and  repotted.  At  this  time  badly  infested  plants  are  destroyed, 
and  many  scales  gotten  rid  of  by  scrubbing  the  leaves.  In  other 
words,  laborious  hand  methods  are  still  the  fashion  in  many  green- 
houses, not  from  choice  but  from  necessity.  The  changing  popu- 
lation of  some  houses  by  selling  and  replenishing  often  aids  the 
greenhouse  man  considerably,  as  in  this  way  an  infestation  often 
has  not  a chance  to  become  serious.  Spraying  or  dipping  with 


39 


whale  oil  soap  or  tobacco  extracts  or  a combination  of  both  is  effec- 
tive in  killing  recently  set  scales  and  scale  larvae,  but  ineffective 
against  the  adult  scales.  Inasmuch  as  it  is  often  impossible  to 
spray  many  greenhouse  plants  thoroughly,  dipping  is  to  be  pre- 
ferred. However,  this  method  has  disadvantages,  such  as  the 
length  of  time  required  and  the  impossibility  of  killing  those  insects 
in  cracks  and  crevices,  protected  by  layers  of  air  which  prevent  the 
solution  from  reaching  them.  Syringing  with  clear  water  undoubt- 
edly washes  many  larvae  from  the  plants  onto  the  bench,  where 
they  eventually  die,  and  also  dislodges  many  of  the  larger  soft 
scales.  However,  where  the  pressure  is  weak  the  syringing  is  by 
no  means  very  effective  against  insects.  Precautionary  measures  also' 
should  be  considered.  This  means  that  scale-infested  plants  should 
not  be  introduced  into  a house  free  of  them.  If  it  is  necessary  to 
buy  such  infested  plants,  scrub  them  clean  before  placing  them 
on  the  benches.  The  writer  is  aware  of  the  successful  use  of 
hydrocyanic  acid  gas  in  California  against  certain  scales  which 
infest  citrus  plants,  but  it  would  be  hardly  suitable  to  advise  the 
use  of  this  gas  against  the  same  scales  in  greenhouses  until  it  has 
been  tried. 


Greenhouse  Fumigation 

Inasmuch  as  greenhouses  differ  considerably  in  tightness  and  con- 
struction, and  as  past  experimentors  have  in  many  cases  failed  to 
note  moisture  and  temperature  conditions,  the  subject  of  greenhouse 
fumigation  is  in  a somewhat  unsettled  state,  and  such  a condition 
will  continue  to  prevail  until  some  one  makes  a serious  and  long- 
continued  study  of  the  subject,  taking  into  consideration  all  factors 
which  have  a bearing  on  the  result. 

Concerning  the  amount  of  potassium  cyanide  to  use  against  the 
white  fly,  A.  W.  Morrill,  in  Circular  57  of  the  Bureau  of  Ento- 
mology, U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture,  states  that  between  1/5  and 
1 /6  of  an  ounce  per  1000  cubic  feet  of  space  for  3 hours’  exposure 
has  been  used  with  success,  also  that  1/3  of  an  ounce  per  1000  cubic 
feet  of  space  used  for  more  than  30  minutes  destroyed  only  the 
adults  and  slightly  injured  the  plants  (tomato  and  cucumber),  and 
that  in  one  instance  1 ounce  per  1000  cubic  feet  of  space  gave  good 
results  in  an  all-night  exposure.  He  also  states  that  probably  of 
an  ounce  of  cyanide  for  each  1000  cubic  feet  for  an  exposure  not 
exceeding  3 hours  represents  the  amount  which  will  prove  most 


40 


effective  for  treatment  without  injury  to  tomato  or  cucumber.  R. 
D.  Whitemarsh,  in  Circular  154  of  the  Ohio  Agricultural  Experi- 
ment Station,  states  that  in  general  the  amount  of  cyanide  neces- 
sary for  white  fly  work  varies  from  1/5  to  1/6  of  an  ounce  per 
1000  cubic  feet  for  3 hours  to  1 ounce  per  1000  cubic  feet 
lasting  overnight,  depending  on  the  construction  of  the  greenhouse. 
He  further  states  that  it  is  well  to  have  the  temperature  as  low  as 
55  if  possible  for  best  results,  and  that  the  fumigation  should  be 
repeated  in  2 weeks.  Mr.  J.  J.  Davis,  in  the  27th  Report  of  the 
State  Entomologist  of  Illinois,  advises  for  white  fly  in  moderately 
tight  houses,  1 ounce  of  cyanide  to  3500  cubic  feet  of  space  for  an 
all-night  exposure,  the  operation  to  be  repeated  3 or  4 times  at 
intervals  of  10  days  to  2 weeks.  In  his  general  fumigation  direc- 
tions he  advises  that  if  possible  a temperature  above  60°  to  65°  F 
should  be  avoided,  since  at  a higher  one  the  plants  are  more  liable 
to  be  injured. 

A.  B.  Gahan,  in  Bulletin  119  of  the  Maryland  Agricultural  Ex- 
periment Station,  states  that  in  houses  containing  a number  of  dif- 
ferent kinds  of  plants  he  would  recommend  the  use  of  not  more 
than  J4  of  an  ounce  of  cyanide  for  each  1000  cubic  feet  of  space. 
This  charge,  he  says,  will  be  sure  to  kill  thrips,  aphids  and  white  fly 
if  left  in  a closed  house  over  night,  the  following  plants  being  un- 
injured by  such  an  exposure — -violet,  primula,  chrysanthemum,  be- 
gonia, nasturtium,  alternanthera,  lantana,  verbena,  orchid,  snap- 
dragon, asparagus  fern,  sweet  pea,  coriopsis,  mignonette,  carnation, 
croton,  cyclamen,  Easter  lily,  geranium,  rose,  cucumber  and  lettuce. 
He  further  states  that  a long  exposure  to  a moderate  amount  of 
gas  is  less  likely  to  cause  injury  to  most  plants  than  a short  ex- 
posure to  a heavy  charge. 

Our  experience  in  New  Jersey  with  white  fly  on  tomatoes  leads 
us  to  advise  for  a modern  tight  greenhouse  of  an  ounce  to  1000' 
cubic  feet  of  space  for  an  exposure  of  20  or  25  minutes,  having 
the  temperature  from  60°  to  70°  F,  and  the  humidity  70  per  cent. 

Prof.  M.  A.  Blake,  in  the  New  Jersey  Agricultural  Experiment 
Station  Report  for  1913,  tells  of  the  successful  results  obtained 
against  the  rose  aphis  in  a tight,  well-glazed  greenhouse,  using  y 
of  an  ounce  of  cyanide  to  1000  cubic  feet  for  an  exposure  of  16 
minutes  with  the  temperature  above  65°  F,  and  where  moisture  con- 
ditions were  normal  for  a rose  , house.  From  a series  of  tests 
conducted  at  the  New  Jersey  Stations,  he  remarks  that  fumigations 


41 


against  the  rose  aphis  are  not  likely  to  be  successful  where  the 
temperature  of  the  house  is  60°  F or  below,  inasmuch  as  meta- 
bolism in  insects  is  largely  determined  by  temperature,  and  when 
this  is  low  the  insects  resist  the  effects  of  the  cyanide.  The  ten- 
derness of  the  plants  should  also  be  considered.  The  more  tender 
and  soft  the  growth  the  more  likely  injury  will  follow  the  use  of 
cyanide. 

W.  J.  Schoene,  in  Technical  Bulletin  No.  30  of  the  New  York 
State  Agricultural  Experiment  Station,  in  a series  of  fumigation 
tests  with  brown-tail  moth  caterpillar,  found  that  a greater  number 
of  caterpillars  survived  the  fumigations  made  at  a low  temperature 
than  at  a higher  temperature,  also  that  fumigations  made  under 
humid  conditions  were  more  destructive  to  the  larvae  than  tests 
conducted  in  dry  air.  He  suggests  that  the  difference  in  the  results 
and  the  resistance  of  the  larvae  to  fumigation  were  due  largely  to 
the  conditions  incidental  to  hibernation,  such  as  the  reduced  moist- 
ure content  and  comparative  inactivity  of  the  larvae. 

Taking  into  consideration  the  work  of  Mr.  Schoene  and  our  own 
experience  in  fumigation,  we  cannot  at  present  help  but  be  advo- 
cates of  heavy  charges  of  cyanide  and  short  exposure.  However, 
as  has  been  stated  before,  the  entire  subject  needs  a thorough 
investigation  from  all  angles. 

Directions  for  Fumigating  with  Hydrocyanic  Acid  Gas 

Fumigate  only  at  night.  Have  the  foliage  of  the  plants  dry. 
The  materials  used  in  the  generation  of  the  gas  are  98  per  cent, 
potassium  cyanide,  commercial  sulphuric  acid  and  water.  For 
every  ounce  of  cyanide  use  2 fluid  ounces  of  sulphuric  acid  and  4 
fluid  ounces  of  water. 

1st — Determine  accurately  the  number  of  cubic  feet  of  space  in 
the  greenhouse  to  be  fumigated. 

2nd — Find  out  the  total  amounts  of  cyanide  and  sulphuric  acid 
necessary,  and  divide  these  into  parts  or  charges  representing  each 
25  feet  of  length  of  the  greenhouse. 

3rd— Weigh  out  the  desired  amounts  of  pulverized  cyanide  for 
•each  charge  and  wrap  each  in  a single  thickness  of  cheesecloth  or 
place  in  a thin  paper  bag. 

4th — Measure  out  the  necessary  amounts  of  sulphuric  acid  and 
water  and  place  in  glazed  earthenware  dishes  or  glass  receptacles 
(do  not  use  metal).  Pour  the  water  in  first  and  add  the  acid 


42 


slowly,  mixing  with  a glass  rod  or  stick.  The  container  should 
never  be  more  than  34  full  of  acid  and  water,  because  the  action 
which  follows  the  introducttion  of  the  cyanide  will  result  in  much 
of  the  material  being  splashed  out.  Ordinary  glass  tumblers  o-r 
bowls,  6 or  8 inches  high,  about  3 or  4 inches  wide,  are  often 
suitable. 

5th — Make  the  house  as  tight  as  possible  by  closing  all  ventilators 
and  stopping  up  all  cracks. 

6th — Distribute  the  bowls  containing  the  acid  and  water  at  the 
desired  distance  apart  and  place  beside  each  the  bag  of  cyanide. 

7th — Commence  at  the  far  end  of  the  greenhouse  and  work 
toward  the  exit,  dropping  each  bag  of  cyanide  gently  into  the  bowk 
If  a number  of  charges  are  necessary,  two  or  more  operators  will- 
need  to  work  together.  After  the  last  bag  has  been  disposed  of, 
leave  the  greenhouse  immediately  and  close  and  lock  the  door. 

8th — After  the  fumigation  has  gone  on  the  desired  length  of 
time,  thoroughly  air  the  house  for  at  least  34  an  hour  before 
entering. 

9th — Take  out  the  containers,  keeping  face  averted  so  as  not 
to  breathe  the  odor  which  comes  from  them,  and  bury  the  contents- 
in  the  ground. 

10th — Wash  out  the  containers  with  clear  water  and  use  for  m> 
other  purpose.  As  soon  as  the  cyanide  comes  in  contact  with  the 
acid  and  water  the  gas  starts  to  come  off,  and  by  using  many  con- 
tainers or  generators  a quicker  distribution  of  the  gas  is  assured. 

Caution. — Potassium  cyanide  is  a deadly  poison  when  taken  in- 
ternally, and  the  gas  generated  by  the  addition  of  cyanide  to  sul- 
phuric acid  is  also  a deadly  poison  when  inhaled.  As  a result, 
one  should  use  extreme  care  in  handling  these  materials.  With 
proper  precautions  and  care  there  is  no  danger.  No  matter  how 
familiar  one  is  with  fumigation,  it  will  not  pay  to  become  careless.

Analyses  of  Commercial  Fertilizers,  Fertilizer  Sup- 
plies and  Home  Mixtures 


By 

Charles  S.  Cathcart,  State  Chemist* 

A portion  of  the  brands  of  fertilizers  that  were  collected  during 
the  season  of  1916  has  been  examined,  and  the  results  obtained  are 
herewith  reported.  The  analyses  of  the  remaining  brands  and  a 
discussion  of  the  entire  inspection  will  be  given  in  a later  bulletin. 

The  results  that  are  tabulated  on  the  following  pages  show  the 
composition  of  408  brands  of  mixed  fertilizers,  188  samples  of  fer- 
tilizer materials  and  13  home  mixtures.  In  addition  to  the  above  the 
analyses  of  26  duplicate  samples  of  mixed  fertilizers  are  included. 
The  total  number  of  analyses  reported  in  this  bulletin  is  635. 

Valuations 

The  usual  conference  of  the  directors  and  chemists  of  the  experi- 
ment stations  of  the  New  England  States  and  New  Jersey  was  held. 
The  question  of  valuations  for  the  present  year  was  carefully  con- 
sidered. It  was  the  unanimous  opinion  that,  on  account  of  the 
great  fluctuations  in  the  prices  of  the  various  materials  used,  no 
schedule  could  be  prepared  which  would  fairly  represent  the  charges 
to  be  made  during  the  season. 

On  account  of  this  condition  no  valuations  have  been  computed 
either  for  the  fertilizer  materials  or  for  the  mixed  fertilizers. 

Examinations  of  Unmixed  Fertilizer  Materials 

The  samples  of  fertilizer  materials  that  are  herewith  reported 
represent  the  various  classes  of  materials  that  are  usually  offered 
for  sale,  with  the  exception  of  the  ground  bones  which  will  be  re- 
ported in  a later  bulletin. 

Nitrate  of  Soda.  Thirty-two  samples  of  nitrate  of  soda  were  ex- 


*The  analyses  were  made  by  Ralph  L.  Willis,  Frank  O.  Fitts,  Louis  J, 
Kleinfeld,  D.  James  Kay  and  Archie  C.  Wark.

amined,  and  the  results  obtained,  omitting  samples  Nos.  16605  and 
16976,  varied  from  14.68  to  15.64  per  cent  nitrogen,  with  an  aver- 
age of  15.30  per  cent.  This  average  is  equivalent  to  92.9  per  cent 
of  nitrate  of  soda.  The  shipments  represented  by  samples  Nos. 
16605  and  16976  were  not  accompanied  by  the  required  guarantee, 
and  it  will  be  noted  that  the  nitrogen  content  was  11.59  and  11.18 
per  cent,  respectively. 

Sulphate  of  Ammonia.  - Six  samples  were  received  and  the  re- 
sults obtained  varied  from  19.88  to  20.63  per  cent  of  nitrogen,  the 
average  being  20.32  per  cent. 

Dried  Blood.  Seven  samples  were  examined  and  the  results, 
omitting  sample  No.  16329,  varied  from  10.49  to  13.94  per  cent  in 
nitrogen  and  from  0.30  to  5.24  per  cent  in  phosphoric  acid.  The 
averages  are  12.33  per  cent  of  nitrogen  and  1.7  per  cent  of  phos- 
phoric acid.  Sample  No.  16329  is  omitted  from  the  averages  on  ac- 
count of  the  deficiency  in  the  nitrogen  content. 

Dried  and  Ground  Fish.  The  results  of  the  examination  of  the 
20  samples  show  the  variations  usually  found  with  this  class  of  ma- 
terial. The  nitrogen  content  varied  from  5.43  to  9.35,  with  an  aver- 
age of  8.02  per  cent.  The  phosphoric  acid  content  varied  from  1.09 
to  10.01,  with  an  average  of  6.00  per  cent. 

Crude  Fish.  The  average  analysis  of  the  four  samples  is : nitro- 
gen, 3.52  per  cent,  and  phosphoric  acid,  6.91  per  cent. 

Tankage.  Fifty-six  samples  were  examined,  one  of  which,  sam- 
ple No.  160054,  is  not  included  in  the  averages.  The  nitrogen  con- 
tent of  the  55  samples  varied  from  4.02  to  8.90,  with  an  average  of 
6.11  per  cent.  The  phosphoric  acid  varied  from  1.56  to  17.89,  with 
an  average  of  9.96  per  cent.  The  mechanical  condition  was  as  vari- 
able as  the  content  of  nitrogen  and  phosphoric  acid.  Seventy  per 
cent  of  the  finest  sample  was  finer  than  1/50  inch,  while  only  12 
per  cent  of  the  coarsest  sample  would  pass  through  a sieve  of  the 
same  size. 

Acid  Phosphate.  Fifty-six  samples  of  acid  phosphate  were  ex- 
amined, of  which  22  were  guaranteed  16  per  cent,  31  were  guaran- 
teed 14  per  cent,  one  was  guaranteed  15  per  cent  and  two  were 
guaranteed  12  per  cent.  The  average  samples  of  the  various  grades 
fully  satisfied  the  guarantees  given  with  the  exception  of  the  12  per 
cent  grade. 

Basic  Lime  Phosphate.  Two  samples  were  examined,  one  of 
which  was  1.72  per  cent  deficient  in  available  phosphoric  acid 
while  the  second  sample  satisfied  the  guarantee.

Tabulations  of  Mixed  Fertilizers 

It  is  our  desire  to  make  the  reports  of  the  inspections  as  helpful 
as  possible,  and  since  some  have  claimed  that  the  method  which  has 
been  used  during  the  past  few  years  for  reporting  the  character  of 
the  organic  nitrogen  content  is  complicated  and  not  easily  inter- 
preted, the  method  of  reporting  the  organic  nitrogen  has  been 
changed. 

In  order  that  there  may  be  a clear  understanding  as  to  the  changes 
referred  to  above,  a few  words  of  explanation  may  not  be  out  of 
place.  The  organic  nitrogen  content  of  a fertilizer  is  reported  un- 
der two  headings : “soluble  organic”  and  “insoluble  organic/’  The 
figures  given  under  the  heading  “soluble  organic”  show  the  amount 
of  organic  nitrogen  that  is  soluble  in  water,  and  the  figures  under 
the  heading  “insoluble  organic’’  show  the  amount  that  is  not  soluble 
in  water.  If  the  examination  has  shown  the  insoluble  nitrogen  to 
be  derived  from  good  materials,  no  additional  statement  is  made ; 
but  if  the  examination  has  shown  it  to  be  derived  from  materials  of 
an  inferior  grade,  the  result  is  given  an  appropriate  figure  which  re- 
fers to  a note  at  the  bottom  of  the  page.  This  reference  gives  a 
statement  of  the  quality  of  the  insoluble  nitrogen  and  also  gives  the 
percentage  of  activity  as  found  by  the  “alkaline  permanganate” 
method. 

By  this  change  it  is  hoped  that  every  one  who  desires  to  be  in- 
formed about  his  fertilizer  can  find  the  information  in  an  available 
form.

Introduction 

As  one  of  the  factors  in  rural  progress  agricultural  education  is 
assuming  a more  commanding  position  from  year  to  year.  The 
State  Agricultural  College  is  now  finding  a wider  scope  for  service 
through  the  authority  vested  in  it  by  the  Federal  Smith-Lever  Act. 
Thus  it  is  able  to  impart  instruction  not  alone  in  organized  classes 
in  the  long  and  short  courses  in  agriculture,  but  to  the  much  larger 
constituency  in  the  several  countries  of  the  State.  In  cooperation 
with  the  Experiment  Station  it  has  organized  farm  bureaus  in  eleven 
counties.  It  is  employing  a staff  of  extension  specialists  who  act  in 
an  advisory  capacity  to  landowners  in  New  Jersey  and  are,  in  fact, 
traveling  instructors  in  agriculture.  It  publishes  printed  matter  on 
topics  of  interest  to  farmers,  and  it  makes  members  of  its  teaching 
staff  available  for  lecturing  to  audiences  in  the  State. 

The  State  Department  of  Education  is  making  its  organization 
more  effective  in  the  rural  districts,  as  well  as  in  the  urban  centers. 
To  the  general  education  which  it  is  offering  alike  to  pupils  in  the 
city  and  country,  it  is  adding  courses  in  vocational  training  best  cal-

culated  to  bring  young  people  into  harmony  with  their  particular 
environment.  The  sons  and  daughters  of  farmers  are  given  an 
opportunity,  in  this  manner,  to  gain  a new  interest  in  and  a clearer 
understanding  of  the  daily  tasks  on  the  farm  and  of  their  place 
in  agricultural  production.  Aside  from  the  project  work  in  agri- 
culture now  conducted  under  its  supervision,  the  State  Depart- 
ment of  Education  is  helping  to  organize  agricultural  courses  in 
the  rural  high  schools;  and  in  due  time  will  no  doubt  advocate  the 
establishment  of  secondary  schools  where  applied  agriculture  may 
be  taught  most  effectively.  It  is  also  probable  that  the  normal 
schools  of  the  State  will  make  more  specific  provision  for  adequately 
training  the  teachers  of  our  rural  schools. 

Contributions  to  agricultural  education  are  being  made  also  by 
the  New  Jersey  State  Board  of  Agriculture.  Its  efforts  are  being 
directed  toward  awakening  among  the  mass  of  producers  the  con- 
sciousness of  common  needs  and  of  common  responsibilities  to  a 
great  industry.  Its  farmers’  institutes,  county  board  meetings 
and  annual  conventions  are  events  distinctly  educational  in  charac- 
ter. But  even  the  police  and  statistical  work  of  the  State  Board 
are  not  without  some  educational  value.  Nursery  inspection,  the 
control  of  tuberculosis  among  dairy  cattle,  the  distribution  of  hog 
cholera  serum,  the  study  of  foul  brood  of  bees,  and  the  gathering 
of  information  on  markets  and  marketing  all  help  in  a more  or 
less  direct  way  to  crystallize  our  knowledge  of  important  agri- 
cultural problems. 

In  so  far  as  they  serve  to  enlighten  the  public  on  matters  of 
agricultural  production,  the  Department  of  Conservation  and 
Development  and  the  State  Chamber  of  Commerce  may  be  regarded 
with  propriety  as  educational  forces  in  agriculture.  The  first  of 
these  organizations  is  a consistent  advocate  of  the  rational  develop- 
ment of  the  natural  resources  of  the  State.  It  recognizes  the  vast 
possibilities  that  lie  in  the  soils  and  forests  of  New  Jersey  and  is 
ever  ready  to  give  its  enthusiastic  support  to  such  broad  measures 
of  public  policy  as  would  encourage  the  profitable  use  of  the  soils 
and  forests.  The  State  Chamber  of  Commerce,  on  its  part,  knows 
of  the  community  of  interest  which  must  exist  between  the  popula- 
tion of  the  city  and  country.  It  appreciates  the  interdependence  of 
the  producers  and  consumers  of  food.  It  appreciates  the  possibili- 
ties of  wholesome  legislation  in  behalf  of  the  rural  communities. 
With  much  discretion  and  intelligence,  it  is  striving  to  mould 


5 

public  opinion  in  the  interest  of  good  roads,  sanitation,  education 
and  community  organization. 

Not  least  among  the  forces  that  help  to  bring  enlightenment 
and  progress  to  rural  New  Jersey  are  the  various  agricultural 
societies  and  organizations.  The  State  Horticultural  Society,  the 
State  Poultry  Association,  the  American  Cranberry  Growers’  Asso^ 
ciation,  the  breeders  of  Guernsey,  Jersey  and  Holstein  cattle,  the 
North  Jersey  Agricultural  Society,  the  farmers’  exchanges  and 
many  other  organizations  all  help  to  give  the  farmer  helpful  infor- 
mation and  a broader  outlook.  Especial  mention  should  be  made, 
however,  of  the  New  Jersey  State  Grange  and  its  pomona  and 
subordinate  granges.  These  are  indeed  educational  institutions,  for 
they  lay  much  stress  on  their  educational  program.  They  do  much 
for  their  members  by  bringing  to  them  a better  understanding  of 
the  social  and  economic  problems  that  enter  into  the  life  of  the 
farmer. 


The  Call  For  Service 
The  Larger  Service 

There  is  need  for  all  of  the  educational  forces  and  agencies  in 
the  advance  which  is  expected  from  the  producers  of  agricultural 
commodities.  The  possibilities  for  agricultural  expansion  in  New 
Jersey  are  still  almost  unlimited.  Out  of  a total  of  4,808,960 
acres  of  land  surface,  there  were  improved  in  1910  only  1,803,336 
acres.  There  were,  then,  in  1910  more  than  3,000,000  acres  of  unim- 
proved land  area  in  New  Jersey.  .Since  that  time  there  have  been 
increases  in  the  acreage  of  the  improved  area  in  some  localities 
and  decreases  in  others.  Altogether,  there  are  now  nearly  one  and 
three-quarter  million  acres  of  unimproved  land  in  the  southern 
counties  of  the  State  and  approximately  one  and  one-quarter  million 
acres  of  unimproved  land  in  the  northern  counties  of  the  State. 
In  South  Jersey  three  of  the  counties,  viz.,  Atlantic,  Burlington  and 
Ocean,  possess  considerably  more  than  one  million  acres  of  land 
which  is  still  to  be  made  arable.  Evidently,  then,  there  is  much 
elbow  room  in  New  Jersey  and  much  constructive  work  which 
may  be  done  when  the  time  comes  for  placing  a larger  supply  of 
food  at  the  disposal  of  the  rapidly  growing  urban  population  of  the 
Atlantic  Seaboard. 

In  considering  broad  constructive  measures  for  the  agricultural 
development  of  the  State,  one  must  reckon  with  a very  considerable 


6 


number  of  leading  factors.  In  northern  as  well  as  southern  New 
Jersey  much  of  the  land  is  still  far  from  accessible.  There  is  need 
for  the  building  of  new  roads  and  the  improvement  of  roads  already 
existing  as  one  of  the  steps  in  the  better  utilization  of  our  farm 
lands.  Any  plan  for  the  rational  development  of  a road  system  in 
New  Jersey  should  include  such  tunnels  under  the  Hudson  and 
Delaware  Rivers  as  would  allow  of  the  unhindered  movement  of 
motor-drawn  and  horse-drawn  vehicles  from  New  Jersey  into  New 
York  and  Pennsylvania.  Such  tunnels  would  at  once  attract  large 
numbers  of  new  settlers  into  the  rural  districts  of  the  State,  would 
enhance  production  and  also  lead  to  a substantial  increase  in  tax- 
able values.  When  considered  from  the  standpoint  of  agricultural 
development,  tunnels  under  the  Hudson  and  Delaware  Rivers  should 
be  regarded  as  very  attractive  investments,  since  the  benefits  to  be 
derived  would  go  to  the  consumers  as  well  as  to  the  producers  of 
foods. 

For  a number  of  years  the  Station,  and  later  the  mosquito 
extermination  commissions  in  a number  of  our  counties,  have 
striven  to  awaken  the  recognition  among  the  people  of  the  State  that 
the  mosquito  pest  is  a problem  of  great  economic  magnitude.  Not- 
withstanding the  opposition  from  many  directions,  the  leaders  in 
mosquito  extermination  work  in  New  Jersey  have  been  able  to 
convince  a large  portion  of  the  intelligent  public  that  mosquitos 
can  be  reduced  to  such  small  numbers,  if  not  entirely  exterminated, 
as  to  prevent  them  from  being  a source  of  serious  discomfort  and 
a check  on  the  development  of  much  of  the  territory  of  the  State. 
It  is  gratifying  to  note  that  in  North  Jersey,  at  least,  the  mosquito 
extermination  activities  of  the  county  commissions  and  of  the  Sta- 
tion have  been  quite  effective.  In  the  counties  of  Essex,  Hudson, 
Union  and  Bergen,  the  mosquito  pest  has  been  reduced  to  such  an 
extent  as  to  call  forth  enthusiastic  comments  in  the  daily  press  and 
among  the  residents  of  that  territory.  Because  of  the  practical 
elimination  of  the  serious  annoyance  from  mosquitoes  much  of  the 
suburban  territory  in  these  and  adjoining  counties  has  attracted  new 
residents.  An  increasing  number  of  suburban  homes  is  being  built 
in  this  territory  and  taxable  values  have  been  increased  greatly. 
But,  gratifying  as  has  been  the  progress  in  mosquito  extermination 
in  northern  New  Jersey,  there  is  still  much  to  be  done  in  South 
Jersey.  If  the  same  degree  of  success  could  be  attained  in  that 
portion  of  the  State  in  the  elimination  of  mosquito-breeding  areas, 


7 


many  thousands  of  acres  of  land  in  the  counties  of  Cumberland, 
Cape  May,  Atlantic,  Burlington  and  Ocean  would  be  taken  up  and 
developed  for  agricultural  purposes.  The  methods  now  employed  in 
mosquito  extermination  have  been  sufficiently  tested  to  make  it 
certain  that  they  would  be  quite  adequate  in  accomplishing  their 
purpose.  It  remains  for  the  State  and  the  counties  concerned  to 
provide  the  funds  that  would  allow  the  completion  of  the  work 
within  the  period  of  a few  years.  With  the  reduction  of  mos- 
quitoes to  insignificant  numbers,  one  of  the  most  serious  checks  on 
the  agricultural  development  of  a large  portion  of  southern  New 
Jersey  will  have  been  removed. 

In  considering  agricultural  development  in  New  Jersey,  mention 
should  be  made  of  the  large  extent  of  meadow  and  swamp  land 
which  could  be  made  more  productive  by  means  of  suitable  systems 
of  drainage.  These  undrained  lands  are  usually  rich  in  plant-food 
and,  thanks  to  their  peculiar  relation  to  the  water  supply,  could 
be  made  to  yield  large  harvests.  They  are  suitable  for  the  grow- 
ing 'of  forage  crops  for  cattle  as  well  as  of  vegetables  of  good 
quality.  Mention  may  be  made,  also,  in  this  connection  of  the 
possibilities  of  overhead  irrigation  in  making  arable  thousands  of 
acres  of  the  open  sandy  soils  in  the  southern  counties  of  the  State. 

As  one  thinks  of  the  physical  limitations  in  agricultural  progress, 
he  is  made  to  realize  that  the  improvement  of  roads  and  other 
means  of  transportation,  systems  of  drainage  and  irrigation  and  the 
extermination  of  mosquitoes  are  but  single  factors  in  the  scheme 
of  development.  The  welfare  of  the  entire  agricultural  industry 
must,  in  the  last  analysis,  depend  on  the  effectiveness  of  the 
individual  farmer  as  a food  producer.  His  effectiveness  will  be 
determined  by  his  industry,  by  his  training  and  education  and  by 
the  working  capital  which  he  may  have  at  his  disposal.  But  even 
with  these,  he  often  feels  helpless  in  a social  and  economic  organiz- 
ation which  is  becoming  more  complex  from  year  to  year.  He 
finds  that  the  raw  materials  which  he  must  have  on  the  farm  are 
controlled  by  large  organizations  of  capital.  He  finds  that  he  must 
meet  a keener  competition  from  the  city  industries  in  the  labor 
market.  He  feels  that  much  of  the  recent  advance  in  industrial 
production  has  been  made  possible  by  the  organization  of  large 
units.  His  is  then  a small  enterprise  less  economically  managed 
because  it  is  smaller  than  a large  industrial  enterprise.  The  increas- 
ing cost  of  labor  and  raw  materials  is  almost  a menace  to  the 


8 


present  organization  of  agricultural  production.  It  is  becoming 
apparent  that  agriculture  as  an  industry  will  have  to  find  greater 
efficiency  in  production  either  by  the  organization  of  larger  farm 
units  or  by  cooperation  among  the  smaller  farm  units.  Students 
of  agriculture  realize  that  the  organization  under  single  manage- 
ment of  very  large  farms  containing  many  thousands  of  acres 
might  be  desirable  from  the  standpoint  of  efficiency  in  production. 
They  would  be  entirely  undesirable  in  that  they  would  destroy  the 
existing  social  fabric  of  our  rural  communities,  would  seriously 
undermine  the  independence  and  initiative  of  the  individual  farmer 
and  would  threaten  the  very  existence  of  the  farm  home.  Instead 
of  a number  of  independent  farmers,  we  should  have  then  a few 
well-paid  managers  and  a large  number  of  hired  men  who  would 
feel  no  direct  responsibility  in  safeguarding  the  interests  of  the 
social  and  religious  life  of  our  rural  districts.  It  is  safe  to  predict, 
therefore,  that  the  coming  decades  will  see  much  change  in  methods 
of  agricultural  production  and  distribution.  Farmers  will  learn 
to  conserve  labor  by  cooperative  effort,  particularly  by  the  use  of 
the  more  costly  labor-saving  machinery.  Farmers  will  also  learn 
to  standardize  their  produce  and  to  reach  the  consumer  as  directly 
as  conditions  may  permit.  As  a prerequisite  of  effective  coopera- 
tion, the  individual  farmer  will  find  himself  in  need  of  a better 
general  education  and  of  greater  skill  in  the  handling  of  his  raw 
materials  and  of  the  implements  of  production. 

The  Special  Service 

The  farmers  of  the  State  are  insistently  calling  for  certain 
service.  Potato  growers,  both  .of  central  and  southern  New  Jersey, 
feel  that  the  potato  crop  is  of  sufficient  importance  to  warrant  the 
employment  of  a potato  specialist  at  the  Agricultural  Experiment 
Station.  The  potato  specialist  should  be  available  for  a study  of 
questions  that,  in  the  interest  of  the  potato  crop,  call  for  an  early 
answer.  It  is  felt  by  the  potato  growers  that  means  should  be 
found  for  controlling  potato  diseases  that  are  more  or  less  trouble- 
some. A study  should  be  made  of  home-grown  seed  and  the  feasi- 
bility of  depending  on  home-grown  seed.  A study  should  be  made 
of  fertilizer  and  other  soil  fertility  problems  peculiar  to  the  grow- 
ing of  large  crops  of  potatoes.  A study  should  also  be  made  of 
systems  of  cropping  and  of  farm  management  that  would  bring 
the  potato  crop  into  more  profitable  relation  to  the  other  crops 
that  may  be  grown  in  potato  sections. 


9 


Strawberries,  raspberries,  blackberries,  gooseberries  and  cur- 
rants are  important  crops  in  sections  of  southern  New  Jersey  and 
elsewhere.  These  crops  have  their  insect  enemies  and  fungous 
diseases  which  at  times  seriously  interfere  with  profitable  produc- 
tion. The  entomologist  of  the  Experiment  Station  has  been  for- 
tunate in  finding  a satisfactory  remedy  against  the  destructive 
attacks  of  the  strawberry  weevil.  Other  work  could  be  done  profit- 
ably both  in  the  control  of  insects  and  plant  diseases  and  in  the  im- 
proving by  selection  and  breeding  that  would  render  berry  pro- 
duction in  New  Jersey  more  certain  and  more  remunerative.  The 
same  may  be  said,  also,  of  ornamental  plants  and  of  cut  flowers. 
The  value  of  these  is  becoming  greater  from  year  to  year.  There 
are  insects  and  plant  diseases  peculiar  to  ornamental  plants  and  men 
should  be  available  for  the  study  of  these  problems  so  that  they  may 
be  disposed  of  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  growers. 

There  is  a strong  demand  for  help  in  the  dairy  industry  of  the 
State.  ’The  cow  testing  associations  in  North  and  South  Jersey 
have  already  done  much  toward  the  elimination  of  unprofitable  cows 
-and  in  the  introduction  of  better  methods  of  feeding.  Unfor- 
tunately, however,  the  cost  of  concentrated  feeding  stuffs  has 
recently  increased  to  such  an  extent  as  to  make  milk  production, 
notwithstanding  the  somewhat  better  prices  of  market  milk,  far 
from  profitable.  Much  has  been  said  in  the  agricultural  press  and 
in  the  daily  papers  concerning  the  apparently  excessive  cost  of 
delivering  milk  to  the  consumer.  It  is  not  at  all  unlikely  that  better 
organization  among  the  dairymen  and  cooperation  in  the  buying  of 
feeding  stuffs,  the  further  elimination  of  less  profitable  cows  and 
the  introduction  of  better  forage  crops  and  better  methods  of  grow- 
ing the  more  common  forage  crops  would  result  in  such  economies 
as  to  benefit  both  the  producer  and  the  consumer  of  dairy  pro- 
ducts. The  Experiment  Station  is  expected  to  serve  more  largely 
than  it  is  now  serving  in  supplying  advice  as  to  feeding,  breeding, 
the  handling  of  milk  and  the  construction  of  dairy  buildings. 

There  is  a growing  conviction  among  the  people  in  the  State 
that  there  should  be  produced  in  New  Jersey,  if  not  all  of  the  meat 
consumed  by  its  residents,  at  least  a much  larger  amount  than  is 
now  being  produced.  It  is  true,  no  doubt,  that  the  production  of 
pork,  mutton  and  beef  may  be  encouraged  and  made  profitable  if 
such  production  is  adjusted  to  the  types  of  farming  which  prevail 
in  the  State.  All  will  agree  that  much  forage  is  now  being  wasted 


10 


in  New  Jersey  on  the  salt  marsh,  on  fresh  water  meadows  and 
generally  on  our  farms  and  in  our  forests.  A system  of  meat 
production  best  suited  to  eastern  conditions  should  be  devised. 
Cooperation  should  play  an  important  role  in  solving  this  par- 
ticular problem. 

The  poultry  industry  of  New  Jersey  has  experienced  within  the 
past  few  years  a truly  remarkable  growth.  Poultry-keeping  appeals 
to  persons  of  limited  capital.  Such  people  can  make  a modest 
living  out  of  the  keeping  of  poultry.  This  is  well  proved  by  the 
establishment  of  many  small  plants  in  northern,  middle  and  south- 
ern New  Jersey,  and  the  increasing  production  of  eggs  and  meat 
for  consumption  in  the  nearby  towns  and  cities.  The  entire  industry 
will  be  benefited  by  more  thorough  organization,  and  the  producers 
by  cooperative  buying  and  cooperative  marketing,  as  well  as,  the 
more  intelligent  dealing  with  poultry  diseases  that  are  often  so  costly 
and  inimical  to  profitable  poultry  husbandry.  The  Poultry  Depart- 
ment of  the  Station  has  rendered  yeoman  service  to  the  industry 
in  stimulating  the  organization  of  local  poultry  associations,  in 
encouraging  the  introduction  of  modern  methods  of  poultry  house 
construction  and  of  feeding  and  breeding.  The  research  work  of 
the  Poultry  Department  is  bringing  to  light  facts  which  should  later 
prove  of  great  value  to  the  industry. 

Vegetable  growing  is  one  of  the  specialized  types  of  farming 
which  is  becoming  more  prominent  in  New  Jersey  from  year  to 
year.  Successful  vegetable  growing  calls  for  high  intelligence  and 
skill  and  involves  a knowledge  of  soil  fertility,  entomology,  plant 
pathology  and  botany.  Intensive  methods  are  being  practiced  to  an 
increasing  extent.  But,  as  the  practice  in  vegetable  growing  becomes 
more  intensive,  the  fertilizer,  insect  and  plant  disease  problems 
also  become  more  troublesome ; hence,  a demand  on  the  part  of 
vegetable  growers  for  special  service  in  these  directions.  The  staff 
of  the  Experiment  Station  is  rendering  such  service  as  the  present 
facilities  will  permit.  It  is  hoped,  however,  that  these  facilities 
may  be  made  more  adequate  through  larger  appropriations  to  the 
Station.  Aside  from  production,  the  growers  of  vegetables  recog- 
nize the  need  for  cooperative  marketing  and  standardization  of  pro- 
ducts. There  is  every  indication  that  much  progress  is  to  be  made 
in  the  near  future  in  the  organization  of  cooperative  marketing 
among  the  growers  of  vegetables. 

Fruit  growing  in  New  Jersey  is  one  of  the  most  progressive  of 


11 


its  agricultural  industries.  Thanks  to  the  energy  and  intelligence  of 
the  members  of  the  New  Jersey  State  Horticultural  Society,  the 
fruit  growers  of  the  State  have  learned  to  appreciate  keenly  the 
value  of  quality  in  fruit.  The  fruit  exhibits  at  local  fairs  and  at 
meetings  of  the  county  and  State  organizations  are  direct  evidence 
that  there  has  been  ample  progress  made  in  fruit  production.  There 
has  come  to  the  fruit  growers  in  the  State  much  knowledge  con- 
cerning fruit  varieties,  methods  of  planting,  methods  of  fertiliza- 
tion, methods  of  spraying  and  methods  of  packing.  Persons  interest- 
ed in  New  Jersey  agriculture  always  experience  a feeling  of  grati- 
fication and  pride  in  inspecting  the  fruit  exhibits  of  New  Jersey 
fruit  growers. 

Another  of  the  industries  which  occupies  high  rank  in  the  State 
is  that  of  cranberry  production.  The  cranberry  industry  is  a highly 
specialized  one  and  calls  not  alone  for  a large  outlay  of  capital 
but  also  of  peculiar  knowledge  and  training  of  a fundamental 
character.  The  cranberry  grower  must  understand  how  to  assure 
an  adequate  supply  of  water  for  flooding  his  bogs,  must  understand 
the  nature  of  the  insect  and  fungous  enemies  of  the  cranberry  crop, 
most  know  something  about  cranberry  fertilization  and  the  packing, 
handling  and  storing  of  cranberries.  The  growers  of  this  crop 
have  been  enabled  to  record  progress  largely  because  of  their 
organization  and  the  careful  study  of  the  needs  of  their  industry. 
There  are  requests  from  them,  as  there  are  from  fruit  growers  and 
others,  for  special  service  of  a research  character. 

Meeting  the  Demand 

The  demand  for  special  service  has  been  met  as  far  as  practic- 
able within  the  past  year.  Experiments  have  been  in  progress  on 
the  use  and  action  of  commercial  fertilizers,  means  for  increas- 
ing the  availability  of  soil  potash,  means  for  increasing  the  recovery 
from  nitrogenous  fertilizers,  and  means  for  increasing  the  nitrogen 
content  of  the  soil  with  the  aid  of  green  manures.  Soil  investiga- 
tions are  being  conducted  on  a field  scale  and  also  in  cylinders  and 
pots  at  the  College  Farm.  Other  fertility  studies  are  being  made  in 
the  experimental  peach  orchard  at  Vineland,  N.  J.,  and  in  a number 
of  counties  under  the  supervision  of  farm  demonstrators.  The 
study  of  lime  problems  has  received  much  attention  within  the  past 
year.  Aside  from  comparisons  of  magnesian  and  non-magnesian 
lime  in  different  amounts  and  for  different  crops,  studies  have  been 
made  in  the  laboratory  on  the  influence  which  ground  limestone  of 


12 


different  degrees  of  fineness  may  have  on  soil  microorganisms  and 
on  the  rate  at  which  limestone  of  different  degrees  of  fineness  may 
neutralize  soil  acidity.  Inoculation  studies  with  soil  bacteria  have 
been  continued,  especially  in  connection  with  the  growing  of  soy- 
beans. One  of  the  notable  results  of  the  soil  research  at  the  Station 
is  a method  for  making  available  the  phosphoric  acid  of  insoluble 
phosphates  by  means  of  the  oxidation  of  sulfur.  It  has  been 
demonstrated  that  sulfur  when  mixed  with  soil  is  changed  by  mi- 
croorganisms into  sulfuric  acid.  This  fact  has  been  known  for 
several  years.  The  director  of  the  Station  suggested  in  the  fall  of 
1915  that  a practical  application  be  made  of  this  knowledge  in  that 
sulfur,  ground  phosphate  rock  and  fertile  soil  be  composted  together. 
A large  number  of  tests  made  with  different  mixtures  of  sulfur, 
ground  phosphate  rock  and  soil  have  shown  that  the  sulfuric  acid 
derived  from  the  sulfur  actually  does  make  available  the  phos- 
phorus in  the  phosphate  rock.  The  method  has  been  outlined  in 
scientific  and  popular  papers  and  is  likely  to  prove  of  great  practical 
value. 

The  entomologist  and  the  plant  pathologist  of  the  Experiment 
Station  have  been  conducting  investigations  on  the  control  of  insects 
and  plant  diseases  injurious  to  fruit,  berries,  vegetables,  potatoes 
and  greenhouse  and  ornamental  plants.  Gratifying  progress  has 
been  made  in  the  control  of  the  strawberry  weevil,  in  the  control  of 
pear  blotch  and  of  one  of  the  troublesome  celery  diseases.  Progress 
has  been  made  also  in  other  directions  as  recorded  in  the  state- 
ments of  the  departments  concerned. 

Something  has  been  added  to  the  sum  total  of  our  knowledge  by 
the  investigations  in  the  Departments  of  Dairy  Husbandry,  Animal 
Husbandry  and  Poultry  Husbandry.  Experiments  have  been  carried 
on  in  connection  with  the  use  of  milk  substitutes  for  calves,  and 
tests  have  been  made  of  different  mixtures  for  the  purpose  of 
determining  the  most  economical  methods  of  feeding  dairy  cows. 
The  place  of  forage  crops  in  economic  pork  production  has  been 
further  studied  and  earlier  results  have  been  confirmed.  The  self- 
feeder  has  demonstrated  its  utility  in  lowering  the  cost  of  pork  pro- 
duced under  eastern  conditions.  A study  has  been  made  of  im- 
proved types  of  forage  crops  and  field  crops,  and  like- 
wise of  farming  in  vogue  in  central  and  southern  New 
Jersey.  The  farm  management  investigations  of  the  Agron- 
omy Department  have  been  published  in  part  in  Bulletin 


13 


294  of  the  Station.  Other  bulletins  on  similar  subjects  will  appear 
at  a later  date.  Mention  should  be  made  also  of  drainage  studies, 
plant-breeding  investigations  and  the  study  of  oyster  propagation. 
These  and  other  experiments  and  investigations  have  already  borne 
fruit  and  give  promise  of  contributing  in  a larger  way  to  the  dif- 
ferent agricultural  interests  of  the  State. 

In  carrying  on  the  investigational  work  of  the  Station,  the  staff 
has  been  fortunate  in  having  had  placed  at  its  disposal  increased 
facilities.  Trustees  and  friends  of  the  College  made  available  for 
use  by  the  Horticultural  Department  of  the  Station  a farm  of  35 
acres  located  on  Ryder’s  Lane.  This  farm  is  to  be  used  for  the 
growing  of  vegetables  as  well  as  of  fruit  trees,  and  is  a particularly 
welcome  addition  to  the  resources  of  the  Station  in  that  the  soil 
of  this  farm  is  of  a sandy  loam  and  suitable  for  vegetable  growing. 
Most  of  the  land  of  the  College  Farm  is  not  suitable  for  that  pur- 
pose! A greenhouse  laboratory  has  been  built  and  occupied.  This 
is  to  serve  the  needs  of  the  Department  of  Botany  and  is  to  be 
occcupied  by  the  plant  physiologist  of  the  Station.  Another  green- 
house is  in  the  process  of  construction.  When  completed,  this  will 
be  used  by  the  Department  of  Plant  Pathology.  The  dairy  herd  of 
the  Station  has  been  increased  by  gifts  and  purchase.  The  Director 
of  the  Station  wishes  at  this  time  to  thank  Messrs.  L.  F.  Loree,  A. 
A.  Cortelyou,  Grant  B.  Schley,  Bernard  Meyer,  Percival  Roberts  and 
James  C.  Turner  for  gifts  of  dairy  animals.  These  are  thoroughly 
appreciated  and  will  help  the  Dairy  Department  to  build  up  a very 
creditable  dairy  herd  for  both  the  Station  and  College.  Also,  the 
herd  of  swine  at  the  Station  has  gained  in  value  both  by  purchase 
and  natural  increase.  It  is  at  present  one  of  the  best  balanced 
station  herds  in  the  country. 

Under  the  direction  of  the  administrative  officer  and  the  librarian 
of  the  Station,  there  is  being  published  a technical  journal  known 
as  “Soil  Science.”  The  establishment  of  this  journal  has  made  pos- 
sible the  more  satisfactory  publication  of  papers  by  soil  investigators 
in  this  country.  Formerly,  soil  research  papers  were  published  in 
European  journals.  Moreover,  the  establishment  of  the  journal 
has  given  the  Experiment  Station  and  Agricultural  College  of  New 
Jersey  an  opportunity  to  conserve  more  effectively  the  funds  avail- 
able for  the  printing  of  bulletins  and  circulars.  “Soil  Science”  has 
now  subscribers  in  nearly  all  of  the  states  of  the  Union  and  in  a 
number  of  foreign  countries. 


14 


It  is  probable  that  two  or  three  additional  farm  bureaus  will  be 
provided  in  the  near  future.  The  activities  of  the  farm  bureaus 
already  established  have  met  with  favor  in  their  respective  counties. 
The  farm  demonstrators  are  not  merely  giving  information  on  timely 
topics,  but  are  also  helping  to  crystallize  public  sentiment  on  ques- 
tions which  concern  the  entire  agricultural  industry.  The  cor- 
respondence of  the  Station  has  experienced  further  growth.  The 
number  of  letters  written  by  the  extension  specialists,  farm  demon- 
strators and  members  of  the  research  staff  was  much  larger  than 
in  the  preceding  year.  Indeed,  the  volume  of  correspondence  has 
grown  to  such  dimensions  as  to  demand  a considerable  expenditure 
for  clerical  services.  Technical  bulletins  and  circulars  have  been 
published.  Their  titles  and  date  of  publication  are  given  elsewhere 
in  this  report.  Educational  exhibits  have  been  shown  at  a number 
of  local  fairs  as  well  as  the  Interstate  Fair  at  Trenton,  N.  J.  The 
interest  displayed  in  these  exhibits  and  the  correspondence  of  which 
they  were  productive  show  that  such  exhibits  are  educational  fac- 
tors of  considerable  moment.  As  usual,  there  were  a large  number 
of  visitors  at  the  College  Farm  and  Experiment  Station.  Many  of 
them  came  for  the  purpose  of  consulting  members  of  the  staff  in 
person  relative  to  farm  problems.  Others  came  to  inspect  exper- 
imental work  now  in  progress.  There  were  also  many  visitors  at 
the  experimental  peach  orchard  at  Vineland,  N.  J.,  and  hundreds  of 
persons  attended  the  demonstrations  given  by  the  extension  special- 
ists of  the  Station  in  different  localities  of  the  State. 

Limitations  of  the  Station's  Service 
In  applying  the  knowledge  already  accumulated  in  the  field  of 
agriculture,  one  finds  certain  limitations  which  can  be  overcome 
only  with  more  or  less  difficulty.  New  methods  must  not  only  over- 
come the  conservatism  of  the  farmers,  but  undoubtedly  demand 
technical  information  which  the  farmer  does  not  always  possess. 
Thus,  the  introduction  of  new  machinery,  of  new  fertilizers,  of 
new  insecticides  or  fungicides  call  for  greater  technical  skill  and 
training.  In  other  words,  as  the  business  of  farming  grows  more 
complicated,  the  successful  farmer  finds  himself  obliged  to  broaden 
his  knowledge  and  to  acquire  a more  fundamental  education.  It  is 
obvious  that  the  successful  farmer  of  today  must  be  a man  educated 
in  different  directions  and  capable  of  understanding  various  technical 
problems.  The  service  rendered  by  the  Experiment  Station  finds  its 
limitations  among  those  of  the  farmers  of  the  State  whose  education 


15 

and  experience  are  not  in  keeping  with  the  most  advanced  agricul- 
tural thought. 

The  service  which  the  Station  would  attempt  to  render  finds  its 
limitations  also  in  the  lack  of  working  capital  and  in  the  lack  of 
cooperation  among  farmers.  That  these  limitations  will  be  removed 
in  time  there  is  no  doubt.  Meanwhile,  the  various  educational  forces 
in  agriculture  will  have  to  do  their  full  share  in  preparing  the  farm- 
er and  his  sons  for  coping  with  the  problems  which  the  future  must 
bring.  There  are  also  limitations  within  the  Station  service  itself 
in  that  facilities  for  research  are  not  always  adequate,  nor  are  the 
equipment  and  staff  always  in  keeping  with  the  many  questions 
which  should  be  answered.  There  is  danger  in  attempting  too  much. 
From  the  standpoint  of  research,  it  is  much  better  that  few  problems 
be  investigated  thoroughly  rather  than  many  problems  superficially. 

Future  Progress 
Better  Education 

Agricultural  progress  of  the  future  will  be  determined  by  the 
progress  of  the  educational  forces  and  agencies  in  agriculture. 
Better  education  must  be  provided  for  the  coming  generation  of 
farmers.  We  must  have  better  rural  schools,  we  must  have  agri- 
cultural courses  in  the  rural  high  schools.  There  should  be  provided 
in  the  rural  districts  of  the  State  secondary  schools  where  agricul- 
ture may  be  taught  as  a vocation.  Short  courses  in  agriculture  and 
movable  schools  can  be  and  should  be  made  more  effective  in 
their  organization  and  scope.  The  organization  of  agricultural 
societies  should  be  encouraged  as  should  be  the  reading  of  good 
farm  papers  and  of  good  books  on  agriculture.  Not  least  among 
the  educational  agencies  is  travel.  Better  roads,  the  telephone  and 
the  automobile  have  widened  the  farmer’s  range  of  observation  and, 
to  that  extent,  have  added  much  to  his  education.  The  further 
expansion  of  the  farmer’s  range  of  observation  is  to  be  encouraged 
and  hoped  for.  This  will  be  readily  admitted  by  all  who  feel  that 
new  ideas  and  improved  methods  mean  much  in  agricultural 
advancement. 

Development  of  More  Intensive  Production 

Specialization  is  one  of  the  striking  characteristics  of  New  Jersey 
agriculture.  Many  years  ago  New  Jersey  was  a live  stock  state. 
Later  it  was  a general  farming  state  and  a dairy  state.  Now  it  is 
designated  as  the  “Garden  State.’’  Its  fruit  growers,  vegetable 


16 


growers,  florists,  poultry  keepers  and  certified  milk  producers  seem 
to  be  holding  their  own  with  their  brethern  of  other  states.  The 
values  which  express  agricultural  production  in  New  Jersey  are 
quite  significant.  The  Census  of  1900  credits  New  Jersey  with  an 
annual  value  of  agricultural  commodities  produced  of  $26,000,000. 
The  corresponding  value  in  1910  was  $43,000,000.  In  1915  it  was 
$68,000,000,  and  in  1916  it  is  likely  to  exceed  $80,000,000.  This 
wonderful  expansion  in  values  has  not  been  based  on  the  increase 
of  acreage  under  cultivation.  As  a matter  of  fact,  the  acreage 
und:r  cultivation  in  1916  was  less  than  that  of  1900  by  about 
300,000  acres.  The  increase  in  the  value  of  agricultural  commodi- 
ties produced  in  the  State  has  been  due  only  in  part  to  higher  prices. 
More  largely  it  has  been  due  to  larger  yields  per  acre  brought  about 
by  the  more  intelligent  methods  of  fertilization  and  tillage.  Special- 
ization is  to  be  further  emphasized  in  the  coming  years.  The 
farmers  of  the  State  will  lay  more  and  more  stress  on  the  pro- 
duction of  crops  of  high  commercial  value.  Soil  fertility  will  be 
brought  to  a higher  level  as  will  also  average  crop  yields.  But,  as 
the  methods  of  production  are  made  more  intensive,  the  danger 
from  attacks  by  insect  enemies  and  injurious  fungi  will  also  be 
increased.  Fertilization  problems  will  become  less  simple  and  the 
Experiment  Station  will  be  called  upon  to  investigate  the  new 
problems  that  might  arise  and  to  offer  technical  advice  on  an  in- 
creasing number  of  subjects.  As  cooperation  in  production  finds  a 
firmer  place  among  farmers,  as  the  transformation  of  more  of  the 
raw  materials  into  finished  products  becomes  more  common,  new 
questions  and  problems  will  be  presented  to  the  Station.  There  will 
be  med  of  information  on  the  canning  of  vegetables  and  fruits,  the 
drying  of  vegetables  and  fruit,  the  preservation  of  meat  by  curing, 
smoking,  pickling,  etc.,  and  a number  of  other  questions. 

Provision  for  Larger  Service 

The  larger  service  demanded  from  the  Station  will  call  for  addi- 
tions to  the  staff,  additions  to  the  acreage  of  arable  land  and  addi- 
tions to  the  buildings  and  equipment.  It  is  far  from  the  thought  of 
the  director  and  his  associates  to  ask  for  appropriations  that  may 
be  premature.  The  need  has  already  come,  however,  for  buildings 
that  could  be  used  both  by  the  College  and  the  Station.  The  most 
pressing  need  is  that  of  a horticultural  building  that  should  contain 
classrooms  and  laboratories,  primarily  for  the  purposes  of  instruc- 


17 


tion.  This  building  should  also  contain  laboratories  and  offices  for 
the  staff  of  the  Horticultural  Department  of  the  Station.  The  need 
is  also  becoming  felt  more  strongly  for  an  animal  husbandry  build- 
ing and  a machinery  building  in  which  there  could  be  stored  agri- 
cultural machinery  and  implements  to  be  used  for  instruction,  dem- 
onstration and  research  purposes.  After  all,  the  appropriations 
made  to  the  Station  are  in  the  nature  of  an  investment  which,  to 
judge  by  the  long  record  of  service,  should  return  handsome  divi- 
dends in  the  future  as  it  has  in  the  past. 

Station  Activities 

Brief  resumes  of  the  activities  of  the  several  departments  of  the 
Station  as  submitted  by  the  heads  of  these  departments  are  here- 
with given.  These  will  serve  to  furnish  information  concerning  the 
research  projects  and  other  activities  of  the  institution. 

Chemistry 

The  department’s  activities  have  been  confined  mainly  to  the  in- 
spection work  as  required  by  the  laws  regulating  the  sale  of  fertili- 
zers, agricultural  lime,  feeding  stuffs  and  insecticides.  During  the 
year  2278  samples  were  examined  and  duly  reported  on.  These  ex- 
aminations required  about  19,000  separate  determinations.

The  tonnage  reports  received  during  the  fiscal  year  were  as  fol- 
lows :

Total  tonnage  for  the  fiscal  year 129,148.65 


On  account  of  the  unusual  conditions  of  the  markets,  it  was  im- 
practicable to  prepare  a schedule  of  values  and,  consequently,  no 
valuations  have  been  calculated  for  the  materials  that  were  examined 
within  the  period  covered  by  this  report.  The  samples  that  were 
■examined  consisted  of  the  following: 


18 


565  samples  of  commercial  fertilizers 

27  samples  of  commercial  fertilizers  (duplicates) 

45  samples  of  commercial  fertilizers  ( unofficial  ) 

13  samples  of  home  mixtures 

208  samples  of  fertilizer  materials 
43  samples  of  ground  bone 

117  samples  of  sundry  materials 


1018  total. 


Five  hundred  and  sixty-five  brands  of  mixed  fertilizers  were  ex- 
amined. All  of  these  were  accompanied  by  guarantees,  with  one  ex- 
ception. The  average  of  the  guaranteed  samples  substantially  satis- 
fied the  guarantees  as  given.  A detailed  study  of  the  results,  how- 
ever, shows  that  the  goods  delivered  were  not  satisfactory.  One 
hundred  and  twenty-two  brands  fully  satisfied  every  guarantee 
given,  and  in  addition  to  this  number  233  brands  substantially  satis- 
fied the  guarantees.  The  remaining  brands,  or  about  37  per  centr 
were  deficient.  One  hundred  and  eighty-two  brands  were  deficient 
in  one  element,  26  in  two  elements  and  one  in  all  three  of  the  ele- 
ments. There  were  1406  deficiencies  possible,  and  of  this  number 
237,  or  16.9  per  cent  were  found.  This  is  the  largest  percentage  of 
deficient  brands  found  since  1908. 

Some  rebates  have  been  paid  by  the  manufacturers  on  account  of 
the  shortage  found,  but  it  is  safe  to  say  that  a large  sum  of  money 
has  been  paid  by  the  purchasers  for  which  no  value  has  been  re- 
ceived. 

There  were  139  deficiencies  in  nitrogen,  the  largest  number  re- 
ported since  the  inspection  work  started.  On  account  of  the  serious 
condition,  the  State  chemist  has  called  particular  attention  in  the 
second  fertilizer  bulletin  to  the  situation,  and  stated  that  inasmuch 
as  it  is  not  the  duty  of  the  State  chemist  to  enforce  the  law,  the  pur- 
chasers should  make  use  of  the  reports  which  they  receive  in  order 
to  secure  the  plant-food  paid  for.  He  also  stated  the  method  that 
should  be  followed  in  such  cases. 

Agricultural  Lime 

Forty-three  manufacturers  registered  87  brands.  Thirty-five 
brands  were  examined  and  the  detailed  results,  together  with  a list 
of  the  manufacturers  and  their  addresses,  will  be  given  in  the  second 
fertilizer  bulletin. 


19 


Commercial  Feeding  Stuffs 

Two  hundred  and  ninety-four,  or  26.6  per  cent  of  the  brands  did 
not  satisfy  all  of  the  guarantees  given.  During  the  1915  inspection 
17.7  per  cent  of  the  brands  were  found  deficient.  The  percentage 
of  samples  that  were  found  deficient  in  protein  and  fat  this  year  is 
about  the  same  as  that  reported  last  year.  The  poorer  showing  this 
year  was  due  to  the  large  increase  in  the  fiber  deficiencies. 

Insecticides 

Fifty  manufacturers  registered  198  brands  of  insecticides.  Eighty 
samples  were  collected  by  our  inspectors,  74  of  which  were  exam- 
ined. • The  composition  of  these  samples  was  found  to  correspond  to 
the  guarantees  given.  A bulletin  on  the  subject  is  to  appear  in  the 
near  future. 

Horticulture 

The  test  of  different  benching  dates  of  carnations  is  completed,  as 
are  the  lime  studies  with  roses.  Considerable  progress  has  been 
made  in  the  peach-breeding  work.  Four  hundred  seedling  trees 
were  planted  out  in  orchard  form  in  the  spring  of  1916,  and  more 
than  two  thousand  trees  from  known  crosses  were  produced  in  the 
nursery  last  season,  and  will  be  ready  for  planting  the  spring  of 
1917.  An  additional  lot  of  pits,  more  than  two  thousand  in  number, 
were  secured  as  a result  of  the  crossing  work  this  past  summer. 
These  have  been  stratified  and  will  be  planted  out  in  nursery  form 
next  spring.  The  Station  will  soon  have  a large  number  of  seedling 
peach  trees  of  known  crosses  for  study. 

The  pruning  experiments  with  peaches  require  much  time  for  the 
recording  of  data.  These  experiments  were  started  in  1912  and  the 
trees  have  now  produced  three  crops.  The  first  two-  seasons’  re- 
sults have  been  written  up  and  are  now  nearly  ready  for  publication. 
The  fertilizer  experiments  with  peaches  were  begun  at  Vineland  in 
1907.  Records  of  yield  have  been  taken  of  each  individual  tree  in 
the  experiments  and  furnish  data  for  a bulletin  which  is  to  appear 
when  time  and  funds  will  permit  of  its  publication. 

The  pruning  experiments  with  apples  have  been  carried  on  since 
1913,  and  records  of  considerable  volume  secured. 

Vegetable  Work 

Through  the  generosity  of  trustees  and  friends  of  the  College,  a 
35-acre  farm  located  near  the  College  Farm  was  purchased  in  the 


20 


spring  of  1916.  This  farm  is  now  being  used  for  the  development 
of  instruction  and  investigation  work  in  vegetable  gardening.  The 
soil  is  of  a medium  loam  type  and  distinct  from  the  red  shale,  the 
prevailing  type  in  the  vicinity  of  New  Brunswick.  The  Station  has 
been  in  need  of  a plot  of  land  where  vegetable  work  could  be  car- 
ried on  under  favorable  conditions.  It  is  hoped  that  the  vegetable 
investigations  at  the  New  Jersey  Station  may  be  developed  in  keep- 
ing with  the  progress  of  the  fruit  investigations. 

Projects 

The  following  projects  have  been  outlined:  fertilizer  experiments 
with  standard  apples  and  dwarf  pears  and  peaches ; pruning  experi- 
ments with  apples,  peaches  and  pears;  variety  tests  of  apples,  pears, 
peaches,  plums,  grapes  and  small  fruits;  cover  crop,  breeding  and 
spraying  experiments  with  peaches;  the  study  of  dynamiting  for 
tree  planting ; the  study  of  peach  yellows  and  little  peach ; soil,  fer- 
tilizer, lime,  moisture,  breeding  and  bench  construction  studies  with 
carnations ; and  soil  and  fertility  studies  with  roses  and  gardenias. 

Animal  Husbandry 

Responsive  to  the  continued  interest  in  problems  relating  to  pork 
production,  the  experimental  work  conducted  by  the  department  has 
centered  around  studies  in  the  growing  of  forage  crops  and  determ- 
ining their  relation  to  economical  feeding.  To  meet  the  peculiar 
conditions  that  exist  in  this  State,  a series  of  experiments  were 
planned  to  determine  not  only  the  most  palatable  mixture  of  green 
forage,  but  likewise  to  suggest  conclusions  relating  to  the  crop  that 
would  supply  forage  throughout  the  season,  and  more  especially  at 
a time  of  year  when  it  would  serve  the  animals  to  the  best  advan- 
tage. 

It  is  essential  that  a forage  crop  be  palatable,  that  it  yield  abund- 
antly and  that  it  be  hardy  enough  to  withstand  not  only  unfavorable 
seasonal  conditions,  but  also  the  tramping  incident  to  foraging  by 
the  pigs  themselves.  While  it  has  been  generally  assumed  that  per- 
manent pastures  meet  this  condition,  our  investigations  go  to  show 
that  it  is  important  that  areas  given  over  to  the  growing  of  swine  be 
plowed  each  year  in  order  that  the  best  results  and  the  most  efficient 
returns  shall  be  obtained. 

Rather  than  rely  on  any  single  forage  crop  to  supply  these  re- 
quirements, our  investigations  prove  conclusively  that  combination 
mixtures  serve  this  end  to  the  best  advantage.  Rape  and  sweet 


21 


clover  in  combination  with  oats  as  a protecting  crop  with  red  clover 
added  to  establish  permanence  has  many  advantages.  Rape  alone  is 
not  especially  palatable,  neither  does  it  grow  as  vigorously  as  when 
produced  in  combination  with  a legume.  Furthermore,  such  com- 
bination mixtures  simplify  the  selection  of  a concentrate,  as  corn  is 
clearly  the  only  supplementary  feed  that  market  pigs  require  when 
foraging  on  such  a combination  of  forage.  Soybeans  in  combination 
with  rape  and  sweet  clover  proved  to  be  an  excellent  mixture,  but 
have  the  disadvantage  of  being  a relatively  short  season  crop,  as  it 
is  not  practical  to  plant  the  soybeans  early  in  the  season. 

More  important,  perhaps,  than  the  problem  of  producing  forage 
crops  is  the  question  of  the  selection  of  concentrates  for  feeding 
breeding,  as  well  as  market  pigs.  The  unprecendented  increase  in 
the  cost  of  concentrates  has  complicated  the  problem  of  rations. 
Furthermore,  the  cost  of  labor  has  increased  substantially  and  the 
live  stock  farmer  is  confronted  by  the  question  as  to  whether  even  as 
efficient  an  animal  as  the  pig  can  be  relied  upon  to  convert  high- 
priced  grain  into  pork  products  at  a profit,  in  view  of  the  fact  that 
it  is  a relatively  long  distance  in  marketing  between  the  animal  on 
the  hoof  and  the  animal  on  the  hook,  especially  under  conditions  of 
distribution  that  prevail  in  this  State. 

Our  experiments  of  last  year  pointed  to  the  fact  that  the  free 
choice  system  would  simplify  the  labor  problem  to  a certain  degree, 
and  that  the  pig  could  be  safely  relied  upon  to  select  and  balance 
his  own  ration,  provided  opportunity  were  afforded.  It  is  interest- 
ing to  note  that  the  season’s  investigational  work  indicates  that  the 
use  of  the  self-feeder  shortens  the  growing  and  fattening  period  by 
at  least  60  days,  and  that  in  the  end  this  method  has  many  advan- 
tages. It  is  evident,  however,  that  the  most  economical  use  of  for- 
age crops  does  not  obtain  when  pigs  are  given  access  to  both  the 
self-feeder  and  forage  crops,  but  rather  that  they  will  prefer  to  rely 
upon  the  concentrates  as  a source  of  nutrient  rather  than  to  forage 
extensively  in  the  held.  It  seems,  therefore,  important  to  limit  the 
amount  of  grain  supplied  in  connection  with  forage  crop  feeding 
until  the  animal  has  reached  at  least  100  pounds  in  weight,  if  the 
greatest  economy  is  to  prevail.  In  other  words,  while  the  self-feeder 
has  proved  its  value  in  supplying  feed  to  brood  sows,  nursing  pigs, 
and  to  mature  market  animals  intended  for  fattening,  it  is  an  extrava- 
gant means  of  feeding  gilts  intended  for  breeding  or  even  market 
pigs  during  the  entire  cycle  of  their  growing  period.

Believing  that  more  attention  should  be  paid  to  cost  of  maintain- 
ing a breeding  herd,  a series  of  experiments  were  conducted  with 
the  object  of  finding  a ration  suitable  for  wintering  brood  sows. 
Endeavoring  to  confine  such  products  to  those  produced  on  the 
farm,  ear  corn  and  alfalfa  hay  were  used  as  a basis  for  such  a 
ration.  Finding,  however,  that  brood  sows  fail  to  consume  large 
amounts  of  alfalfa  hay  when  supplied  in  racks,  it  was  planned  to 
grind  the  hay  and  supply  it  in  the  form  of  alfalfa  meal.  It  de- 
veloped that  this  was  a practical  solution  of  the  problem.  A 300- 
pound  brood  sow  would  consume  scarcely  more  than  one  pound  of 
alfalfa  hay  when  supplied  in  racks,  but  when  the  hay  was  ground 
and  moistened  with  molasses  it  was  a regular  occurrence  to  have  a 
brood  sow  of  this  size  consume  as  much  as  3 pounds  of  alfalfa  hky 
per  day,  and  in  this  amount  the  hay  could  be  relied  upon  to  supply 
the  bulk  of  her  maintenance  requirements.  It  was  possible,  there- 
fore, to  reduce  the  daily  cost  of  maintenance  for  a 300-pound  brood 
sow  from  12  cents  to  7 cents  per  day  by  the  simple  process  of  grind- 
ing the  alfalfa  hay  and  mixing  it  with  molasses,  and  supplementing 
this  combination  with  a little  hominy  and  tankage  chop.  The  brood 
sows  gained  regularly  on  this  mixture,  settled  promptly  when  mated, 
farrowed  strong  vigorous  pigs,  and  went  through  the  nursing  period 
with  more  flesh  than  in  cases  where  the  corn  and  alfalfa  hay  was 
relied  upon  entirely  as  a source  of  feed. 

During  the  coming  winter  we  shall  run  these  experiments  in  dupli- 
cate, and  hope  to  verify  the  figures,  which  give  promise  of  suggest- 
ing more  economical  and  practical  rations  for  brood  sows. 

With  black  strap  molasses  at  24  cents  per  gallon,  it  seems  doubt- 
ful whether  it  can  be  used  as  a substitute  for  corn  or  hominy  meal. 
Under  average  conditions,  when  it  sells  for  8 or  9 cents  a gallon,  it 
is  clearly  evident  that  it  would  serve  in  reducing  the  cost  of  grains 
where  it  was  used  as  a substitute  for  corn  or  hominy  and  mixed 
with  alfalfa  hay  and  tankage.  It  is  interesting  to  note  the  results  of 
the  experiments  conducted  with  10  gilts,  five  of  which  were  fed 
molasses  and  alfalfa  hay  exclusively  from  the  time  that  they  were 
weaned  until  after  their  first  litter  of  pigs  had  been  weaned.  Their 
gains  were  made  at  slightly  more  than  3 cents  a pound  less  than 
those  obtained  with  the  five  gilts  fed  corn,  tankage  and  alfalfa. 

Considerable  difficulty  was  experienced  during  the  year  with  hog 
cholera.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that  the  entire  herd  was  subjected  to 
the  serum  simultaneous  method  of  treatment  under  conditions  that 


23 


should  avoid  infection,  losses  were  frequent  and  doubtful  as  to 
cause.  That  the  double  treatment  under  average  conditions  does 
stunt  the  growth  of  pigs  seems  well  supported  by  conditions  that 
prevailed  in  our  herd  during  the  past  year.  The  claim  that  suckling 
pigs  from  immune  sows  carry  such  immunity  during  their  nursing 
period  was  not  verified  in  the  Station  herd,  for  losses  were  recorded 
among  suckling  pigs  nursing  immune  sows,  although  the  sows  them- 
selves were  perfectly  healthy.  It  would  seem  that,  if  the  double 
treatment  checks  the  vigor  and  vitality  of  the  animal  and  prevents 
him  from  making  normal  gains  during  the  early  growing  period,  its 
general  adoption  should  be  discouraged. 

The  breeding  herd  has  reached  a stage  as  to  numbers  and  quality 
that  should  allow  constructive  work  in  breeding  and  economy  in 
production.  It  is  hoped  that  the  question  of  costs  in  production  may 
be  worked  out  next  year,  although  the  abnormal  conditions  prevail- 
ing at  the  present  time  may  discourage  such  an  undertaking. 

Poultry  Husbandry 

The  work  in  the  Poultry  Department  during  the  past  year  con- 
sisted of  carrying  on  projects  which  have  been  under  investigation 
for  a number  of  years,  special  attention  being  given  to  feeding,  incu- 
bation and  breeding  problems.  The  amount  and  best  sources  of 
protein  in  poultry  rations  have  been  studied  with  great  detail.  Cer- 
tain incubation  problems,  especially  the  cause  of  death  of  chicks  dur- 
ing the  latter  stages  of  incubation  are  being  investigated  definitely  in 
a series  of  projects  which  will  cover  a number  of  years.  The  work 
of  breeding  for  fecundity  and  the  inheritance  of  egg  shell  color 
and  plumage  pattern  are  progressing  satisfactorily.  A wonderful 
opportunity  has  been  presented  for  the  securing  of  a great  mass  of 
valuable  data  pertaining  to  egg  production  and  the  inheritance  of 
this  character,  together  with  correlation  observations  pertaining  to 
egg  production  and  the  physical  appearance  of  birds  through  the 
Poultry  Department’s  activities  in  supervising  the  Vineland  Interna- 
tional Egg  Laying  Contest  which  starts  November  first  of  this  year. 
Now  that  the  poultry  farm  is  approximately  completed  more  time 
and  energy  from  the  department  staff  members  can  be  centered  upon 
research  problems  and  the  detail  of  research  work  will  be  less  inter- 
fered with  than  during  the  past  three  years. 

Dairy  Husbandry 

The  work  of  the  Dairy  Department  for  the  past  year  has  been 


24 


practically  a continuation  of  the  work  carried  out  during  the  few 
previous  years.  This  naturally  divides  itself  as  follows : 

1.  The  herd — including  changes  in  the  herd,  records  of  milk  pro- 
duction and  cost,  and  data  in  connection  with  the  cost  of  raising 
heifers  and  calves. 

2.  Cow  testing  associations. 

3.  Advanced  registry  work. 

4.  Testers’  license,  and  Babcock  test  glassware  regulations. 

The  Herd 

The  most  gratifying  features  in  connection  with  the  work  of  the 
Dairy  Department  for  the  past  year  has  been  the  marked  increase 
in  the  average  milk  production  of  the  animals  in  the  herd,  and  the 
general  improvement  in  the  health  of  the  herd.  The  average  pro- 
duction per  cow  for  the  year  just  closed  was  9505.9  pounds  as  com- 
pared with  7671.9  for  the  preceding  year,  an  increase  of  1834 
pounds  per  cow.  This  increase  may  be  attributed  to  heavier  feed- 
ing and  to  the  elimination  from  the  herd  of  several  animals  which 
were  found  to  be  unprofitable.  The  loss  due  to  contagious  abortion, 
which  was  so  prevalent  in  the  herd  a few  years  ago,  has  been 
checked  and  at  the  present  time  the  herd  is  practically  free  from 
this  trouble. 

Several  pure-bred,  animals  have  been  added  during,  the  year  and, 
with  a natural  increase  from  these  and  other  animals  in  the  herd;  it 
should  be  only  a matter  of  a few  years  when  all  the  grade  animals 
can  be  eliminated.  Owing  to  a heavy  increase  in  the  cost  of  concen- 
trates. the  cost  of  producing  milk  is  considerably  higher  than  in  pre- 
vious years.  This  same  statement  applies  to  the  cost  of  raising 
heifers  and  calves. 

Cow  Testing  Associations 

The  three  cow  testing  associations  which  were  in  operation  last 
year  have  been  reorganized  and,  in  addition,  two  new  association 
have  been  formed.  The  associations  now  in  operation  are  located  as 
follows'  Sussex  County,  two;  Salem  County,  one;  Cumberland 
County,  one,  and  Bergen  and  Passaic  Counties,  one. 

Early  in  the  year,  Mr.  John  W.  Bartlett  was  appointed  Extension 
Specialist  in  Dairy  Husbandry  and  the  development  of  this  work  has 
been  placed  under  his  supervision.  Interest  in  this  work  is  increas- 
ing and  it  is  quite  possible  that  several  more  associations  will  be  or- 
ganized during  the  coming  year.  Records  of  the  production  and 


25 


cost  of  feeding  the  2500  or  more  cows  now  under  test  are  being 
kept  by  this  department.  When  deemed  sufficient,  these  records 
will  be  compiled  for  the  purpose  of  comparing  the  cost  of  milk  pro- 
duction from  year  to  year. 

Advanced  Registry  W ork. 

The  number  of  tests  supervised  by  this  department  for  breeders 
of  pure-bred  cattle  in  this  State  shows  a slight  increase  over  the 
pervious  year.  In  keeping  with  the  policy  of  the  department  of 
former  years,  records  of  the  production,  amount  and  cost  of  feed  of 
all  animals  under  test  have  been  kept.  It  is  the  intention  of  the  de- 
partment to  compile  these  records  as  soon  as  sufficient  data  have 
been  gathered,  and  some  valuable  information  may  be  obtained 
therefrom. 

Testers'  License  Division 

The  law  regulating  the  weighing,  testing  and  purchasing  of  milk 
and  cream  (Chapter  31,  Laws  of  1916)  passed  at  the  last  session  of 
the  State  Legislature,  went  into  effect  September  1,  1916.  A copy 
of  the  law  and  full  information  concerning  the  rules  and  regulations 
to  be  complied  with  are  contained  in  Circular  62,  prepared  by  this 
department.  A copy  of  this  circular  will  be  sent  to  any  person,  on 
request.  To  date,  41  applicants  have  taken  the  testers’  license  exam- 
ination, and,  of  this  number,  34  have  been  successful.  Two  thou- 
sand and  nineteen  pieces  of  glassware  have  been  inspected  0.7  per 
cent  of  which  was  found  inaccurate. . As  yet  a sufficient  opportunity 
has  not  been  afforded  to  enable  the  department  to  offer  any  comment 
as  to  the  working  of  this  law. 

Seed  Control 

The  work  of  the  Seed  Laboratory  during  the  year  has  been  similar 
in  nature  to  that  of  preceding  years,  inasmuch  as  it  has  been  an  at- 
tempt to  carry  out  the  provisions  of  the  law  and  to  make  the  service 
rendered  as  valuable  as  possible.  While  the  character  of  the  work 
has  not  materially  changed,  the  quantity  has  increased  in  proportion 
to  the  demand.  Although  the  total  number  of  samples  received  for 
tests  represents  an  increase  of  only  20  per  cent  over  the  number  re- 
ceived within  the  preceding  year,  the  increase  from  the  first  year  is 
over  100  per  cent. 

During  the  year  the  seed  analyst  has  prepared  for  publication  cir- 
culars on  weed  control  and  describing  the  new  seed  law  and  a bul- 


26 


letin  giving  the  results  of  tests  of  official  samples  for  1914-1916r 
with  pertinent  information  and  various  news  items  dealing  with  seed 
problems. 

The  Seed  Laboratory  was  enabled  to  make  a study  of  the  crimson 
clover  seed  offered  in  1916  and  to  make  public  the  resulting  informa- 
tion previous  to  the  time  of  purchase.  It  is  believed  that  informa- 
tion given  at  this  time  is  infinitely  more  valuable  than  any  results 
that  may  be  published  after  the  seed  is  sown  and  crops  harvested 
therefrom.  Unfortunately,  however,  such  procedure  is  not  gener- 
ally possible  owing  to  trade  conditions  and  limitations  of  labor  and 
funds.  The  new  seed  law,  effective  November  1,  1916,  will  accom- 
plish practically  the  same  result,  inasmuch  as  agricultural  seeds  must 
be  labeled  with  certain  statements  as  to  quality. 

The  quality  of  the  seeds  examined  during  the  year  calls  for  no 
particular  comment.  Instances  of  loss  due  to  low  purity  and  germ- 
ination might  be  cited,  but  in  each  case  available  measures  of  pro- 
tection were  not  adopted  in  due  time. 

Observations  on  the  development  of  certain  strains  of  alfalfa  in 
different  parts  of  the  State  have  been  reported.  While  these  obser- 
vations are  too  limited  to.be  definitely  conclusive,  there  are  certain 
suggestive  features  worthy  of  some  future  attention. 

Weed  plants  have  been  identified  and  advice  given  as  to  eradica- 
tion. It  would  seem  well  worth  the  expense  to  devote  a thousand 
dollars  or  more  to  the  study  of  weed  problems.  A portion  of  this 
should  be  available  for  educational  work  along  this  line. 

Agronomy 

The  Agronomy  Department  is  charged  with  two  separate  lines  of 
work.  The  first  of  these  embodies  farm  crops,  such  as  the  grains, 
and  forage  crops  commonly  grown  in  the  State;  the  second  em- 
braces farm  management,  including  farm  organization,  cost  account- 
ing, profits  derived  from  different  types  of  farming  and  labor  effi- 
ciency. 

Cereals 

During  the  past  year  30  different  varieties  of  oats,  34  varieties  of 
wheat  and  2 varieties  of  barley  have  been  tested  and  studied.  This 
is  to  meet  the  constant  demand  made  by  the  farmers  for  the  best 
variety  of  these  different  grains  for  growing  in  New  Jersey.  When 
the  most  desirable  varieties  of  corn,  oats  and  wheat  are  found  with 
their  adaptations,  then  these  crops  can  be  improved  through  selec- 


27 


tion  for  superior  strains.  By  isolating  proper  varieties  and  improv- 
ing them  through  selection,  it  should  be  quite  possible  to  increase  the 
yield  of  the  corn  crop  10  to  30  bushels  per  acre  for  the  State  as  a 
whole.  Since  corn  is  a crop  which  cannot  be  satisfactorily  imported 
from. outside  the  State,  it  is  necessary  to  develop  varieties  and 
strains  particularly  adapted  to  the  State  as  well  as  to  the  different 
localities  in  the  State.  This  work  should  include  varieties  of  both 
grain  and  ensilage  corn.  When  we  consider  that  the  value  of  this 
crop  alone  is  11  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  the  agricultural  pro- 
ducts of  the  State,  its  development  warrants  more  attention. 

Forage  Crops 

The  forage  problem  for  the  State  is  becoming  more  acute  with 
the  high  cost  of  feed.  During  the  past  year,  44  different  grasses  and 
legumes  were  grown  on  a small  scale  and  their  adaptations  noted. 
Methods  of  alfalfa  culture  by  seeding  in  rows,  broadcast  and  with 
timothy  were  studied  to  determine  their  practical  value.  Sudan 
grass  was  grown  in  comparison  with  the  millets. 

Farm  Management 

The  major  portion  of  the  activities  of  the  department  was  cen- 
tered upon  farm  management  work.  Survey  records  obtained  from 
Monmouth  County  were  classified  and  records  of  farms  classed  as 
potato  farms  were  completed,  tabulated  and  published  as  Bulletin 
294  of  the  Experiment  Station.  The  tabulation  of  the  general  farms 
is  almost  complete  and  ready  to  be  published  in  bulletin  form.  Work 
such  as  this  forms  a definite  and  authentic  basis  for  the  proper  or- 
ganization of  a farm.  It  seeks  and  finds  successful  farms,  success- 
ful crop  rotations,  successful  farm  practices,  successful  farm  units, 
as  well  as  successful  farmers.  Information  such  as  this  obtained 
from  all  the  counties  in  the  State  would  form  a basis  for  the  proper 
type  of  farming  and  the  proper  farm  organization  for  each 
locality.  Each  farm  as  an  individual  is  considered  as  a 
miniature  experiment  station  and  information  from  a large 
number  of  these  miniature  experiment  stations  is  vast  in  pos- 
sibilities and  value.  It  shows  what  actually  is  taking  place  on  the 
farms  of  the  State  as  well  as  what  should  take  place.  It  shows  the 
proper  type  of  farming  that  should  be  followed  in  each  locality  and 
serves  as  an  accurate  guide  for  the  future  development  of  the  farms 
in  New  Jersey. 


Cost  Accounting 

Cost  accounting  has  been  started  in  three  counties.  This  is  com- 
manding wide  attention  from  farmers  all  over  the  State.  Today  the 
increased  cost  of  farming  makes  it  necessary  for  the  farmer  to  keep 
records  of  his  business. 

Agricultural  Extension 

One  of  the  strongest  features  of  our  extension  work  is  the  organ- 
ized county  farm  demonstration  service  that  is  being  rendered  in  11 
counties  of  the  State.  The  county  superintendent  of  farm  demon-  , 
stration  is  a member  of  the  College  staff  and  that  makes  him  a repre- 
sentative of  the  College  and  Station  within  his  county.  It  gives  him 
direct  touch  with  the  research  departments  of  the  Station  and  en- 
ables him  to  be  a medium  through  which  any  farmer  wanting  assist- 
ance can  reach  the  .Station  quickly.  The  county  farm  demonstrator  is 
not  only  a teacher,  but  also  a cooperator,  working  out  local  problems 
in  connection  with  those  who  are  vitally  interested..  He  is  under  the 
direction  of  representative  men  in  the  county  and  is  the  means  used 
by  them  for  the  promotion  of  its  best  interests.  The  work  of  the 
eleven  organized  counties  is  in  good  shape  and  farmers  in  four  un- 
organized counties  are  asking  for  the  assistance  of  a farm  demon- 
strator. 

The  Extension  Division  has  specialists  in  farm  crops,  fruit  grow- 
ing, market  gardening,  poultry  husbandry,  dairy  husbandry,  soil  fer- 
tility, home  economics  and  hoys’  and  girls’  club  work.  These  special- 
ists assist  the  county  demonstrators  in  organized  counties  and  carry 
on  as  much  work  as  their  time  will  permit  in  other  counties.  The 
demand  for  such  service  is  far  beyond  our  ability  to  supply.  Some 
increase  in  appropriation  last  year  has  enabled  us  to  expand  the 
work,  but  many  requests  necessarily  cannot  be  met. 

Special  mention  should  be  made  of  the  work  in  home  economics, 
girls'  canning  clubs,  etc.  Our  young  people  are  easily  interested  in 
industrial  work  and  should  be  given  instructors  and  leaders.  It 
would  be  easily  possible  to  increase  the  membership  of  home-making 
clubs,  canning  clubs,  corn  clubs,  pig  clubs,  etc.,  ten-fold  if  we  had  an 
adequate  force  for  organization  and  leadership. 

The  effectiveness  of  our  extension  work  will  be  increased  by  its 
coordination  with  the  work  of  the  new  Department  of  Agriculture 
at  Trenton.  In  organized  counties,  the  farmers’  institutes  are  placed 
under  the  direction  of  county  superintendents  of  farm  demonstra- 


29 


tion,  who  are  guided  in  turn  by  representative  men  and  women  of 
the  county.  The  institutes  are  gaining  in  effectiveness  as  a result. 
Many  county  boards  of  agriculture  will  become  the  advisory  com- 
mittee of  farm  demonstration  offices  and  gradually  we  shall  have 
entire  unity  in  all  of  the  State’s  work  in  agriculture.  We  shall  need 
annually  some  increase  in  State  appropriation  to  take  care  of  more 
organized  counties,  and  especially  for  the  development  of  work  in 
home  economics  and  boys’  and  girls’  clubs.  The  d gree  of  success 
that  has  been  attained  is  due  to  the  loyal  support  of  the  members  of 
the  grange  and  other  progressive  people  in  the  rural  life  of  New 
Jersey. 

Soil  Chemistry  and  Bacteriology 
Nitrogen  Availability  Project 

The  work  under  this  project  has  been  continued  in  accordance 
with  the  plan  which  has  been  followed  for  the  past  few  years.  The 
timothy  on  Plots  I A to  20B  has  been  harvested,  samples  prepared 
and  the  nitrogen  determinations  made.  However,  the  results  have 
not  been  brought  together  for  comparison. 

The  cylinders  of  Group  L for  the  most  part  bore  an  excellent  crop 
of  wheat  and  the  data  in  connection  with  this  are  being  brought  to- 
gether. Next  year’s  results  will  complete  the  fourth  5-year  period 
for  this  experiment. 

A crop  of  barley  and  a residual  crop  of  buckwheat  were  grown  on 
cylinders  of  Group  N and  nitrogen  determinations  have  been  made 
on  all  these  samples.  A report  on  this  work  will  be  included  in  this 
year’s  annual  report.  The  results  are,  in  the  main,  in  accord  with 
results  secured  in  previous  years  but  there  is  better  agreement  be- 
tween duplicates  than  heretofore. 

Nitrogen  A r cumulation  and  Utilization  Project 

This  includes  the  320  cylinders  of  Group  N,  field  plots  21  to  48, 
49  to  56,  65  to  71,  A to  F,  M to  R,  and  also  certain  pot  experiments. 
Crops  were  successfully  grown  on  all  cylinders  and  plots,  and  these 
have  been  carefully  weighed  and  samples  prepared  for  analysis. 
Many  of  the  nitrogen  determinations  have  already  been  made.  On 
the  cylinders  leguminous  green  manure  crops  as  a source  of  nitro- 
gen have  given  excellent  results.  With  but  few  exceptions  they  have 
proved  superior  to  nitrate  of  soda  (160  lbs.  per  acre)  and  stable 
manure  (15  tons  per  acre  once  in  two  years).  Very  satisfactory 


30 


agreement  has  been  obtained  between  duplicate  cylinders. 

In  the  lime  and  rotation  experiments — field  plots — the  limed  plots 
have  not  only  given  a larger  yield  than  the  check  plots,  but  they 
have  in  nearly  all  cases  given  a crop  with  a higher  percentage  of  ni- 
trogen in  the  dry  matter  than  the  check  plots.  A careful  examina- 
tion of  the  roots  of  soybeans  from  limed  and  unlimed  plots  shows  a 
decidedly  larger  number  of  nodules  on  the  roots  from  the  former 
than  from  the  latter.  This  would  indicate  better  inoculation  and, 
therefore,  a larger  supply  of  available  nitrogen  for  the  plant,  which 
would  no  doubt  account  for  the  higher  percentage  of  nitrogen  in  the 
dry  matter  from  the  limed  plots. 

The  continuous  wheat  plot,  with  a leguminous  crop  as  a source  of 
nitrogen,  yielded  almost  twice  as  much  grain  and  more  than  twice  as 
much  straw  as  the  corresponding  plot  without  a legume.  Also  there 
was  recovered  from  the  legume  plot  more  than  twice  as  much  nitro- 
gen as  from  the  non-legume  plot,  and  the  dry  matter  of  the  former 
contained  a higher  percentage  of  nitrogen  than  the  dry  matter  of  the 
latter. 

Sulfur  Oxidation  Project 

A’ large  amount  of  laboratory  work  has  been  carried  out  to  deter- 
mine to  what  extent  sulfur  is  oxidized  in  the  soil  by  microorganisms. 
Also  much  work  has  been  done  to  determine  to  what  extent  the  sul- 
furic acid  thus  formed  makes  available  the  phosphoric\  acid  of  the 
rock  phosphate.  Work  has  been  carried  out  by  means  of  laboratory 
and  pot  experiments.  The  results  so  far  are  encouraging. 

Soil  Fungi  Project 

An  attempt  is  being  made  to  determine  whether  soil  fungi  play  a 
part  in  the  oxidation  of  sulfur. 

Soil  Bacteria  Project 

Counts  have  been  made  on  samples  from  certain  of  the  field  plots 
and  the  ammonifying  power  of  soil  from  plots  receiving  different 
lime  treatments  has  been  determined. 

Soil  Protozoa  Project 

With  reference  to  the  last  project,  there  appears  to  be  nothing 
definite  to  report  at  this  time. 

In  the  case  of  the  alfalfa  experiments  on  Plots  E,  F,  G and  H,  the 
yield  of  hay  has  increased  each  year  since  the  first  crop  in  1014. 
With  only  a few  exceptions,  the  yield  has  increased  with  increased 


31 


applications  of  lime.  The  maximum  yield  was  7640  pounds  for 
three  cuttings,  on  Plot  G in  1916.  The  maximum  yield  in  1914  was 
4500  pounds.  Attention  should  also  be  called  to  the  fact  that,  with 
only  slight  exception,  the  percentage  of  nitrogen  increased  with  in- 
creased application  of  lime.  For  example,  the  average  percentage 
on  Plot  E,  check  plot,  in  1916  was  2.45  per  cent,  while  the  average 
percentage  on  Plot  H,  with  4000  pounds  of  ground  limestone  per 
acre,  was  2.89  per  cent. 

Lime  has  also  resulted  in  a larger  yield  of  soybeans  per  acre  and 
likewise  a higher  percentage  of  nitrogen  in  the  beans.  Counts  were 
made  of  the  nodules  on  plants  from  limed  plots  and  also  from  un- 
limed plots,  the  former  giving  an  average  of  83  nodules  per  plant 
and  the  latter  50  nodules  per  plant.  This  would  appear  to 
strengthen  the  belief  that  lime  favors  those  organisms  that  live  in 
the  roots  and  take  nitrogen  from  the  air  and  may  also  in  part  ex- 
plain the  higher  percentages  of  nitrogen  in  the  dry  matter  from 
limed  plots. 

There  have  been  analyzed  about  one  hundred  samples  of  soil 
from  the  Freehold  Area.  The  results  of  these  analyses  have  been 
put  into  shape  for  publication.  Also  about  one  hundred  and  fifty 
samples  of  soil  from  the  Camden  Area  have  been  analyzed  and  the 
results  tabulated,  but  the  material  has  not  yet  been  prepared  for 
publication. 

The  pot  experiments  with  greensand  marl  indicate  that  soy- 
beans at  least  are  able  to  make  a very  good  growth  and  form  pods 
with  no  other  potash  than  that  furnished  in  a slowly  available  ma- 
terial. However,  further  work  must  be  done  before  definite  con- 
clusions can  be  drawn. 


Botany 

The  work  for  the  past  year  has  been  under  the  three  following 
projects:  Heredity,  Environment  and  Toxicology. 

Under  Heredity,  the  chief  subjects  are  beans,  corn,  eggplants, 
okra,  peppers,  squashes  and  tomatoes,  and  the  end  sought  is  a bet- 
ter understanding  of  the  laws  of  plant  breeding.  With  beans,  both 
crosses  and  hybrids  are  considered  and  of  the  latter  the  combina- 
tion between  the  garden  varieties  and  the  scarlet  runner  are  most 
promising.  These  hybrids  offer,  among  other  things,  an  opportun- 
ity to  study  the  inheritance  of  prolificness  and  of  partial  sterility. 

The  work  with  corn  embraces  the  inheritance  of  the  texture  of 


32 


the  grain  between  the  soft  or  flour  kinds  and  the  sweet  and  flinty 
sorts,  for  which  purpose  the  corn  of  the  Hopi  Indians,  with  its 
chalky  endosperm,  is  being  bred  with  varieties  of  pop  corn.  Atten- 
tion is  being  paid  to  the  character  of  the  tassel  in  its  possible  cor- 
relation with  the  form  of  the  ear,  and  attempts  are  being  made  to 
isolate  a strain  of  crossed  corn  that  will  show  but  comparatively 
few  grains  upon  the  normal-sized  cob  with  the  hope  of  determining 
the  behavior  of  such  non-prolific  strain  in  breeding  with  ordinary 
corn. 

Among  eggplants,  the  breeding  is  continued  between  various 
kinds  for  the  purpose  of  gaining  information  as  to  the  behavior  of 
the  quality  of  bitterness  in  breeding.  An  absolutely  spineless 
strain  seems  to  be  in  sight,  which  may  prove  of  much  practical 
value. 

The  peppers  have  been  carried  forward  into  the  fourth  genera- 
tion and  here  it  is  learned  that  there  is  a close  adherence  to  type. 
There  is  very  little  indication  that  the  original  parental  forms  are 
to  be  obtained,  although  the  number  of  specimens  of  a single  cross 
is  among  the  thousands.  Still  further  evidence  has  been  obtained 
in  favor  of  the  opinion  that  there  is  some  linking  together  of  char- 
acters that  are  common  to  one  or  the  other  of  the  parents.  Work 
is  progressing  upon  the  securing  of  non-prolific  strains  for  purposes 
of  breeding. 

Tomatoes  are  now  being  bred  chiefly  for  the  purpose  of  determin- 
ing whether  permanent  differences  exist  between  the  true  recipro- 
cals, and  to  this  end  extreme  types  are  being  bred  and  the  recipro- 
cal offspring  studied  along  parallel  lines. 

Under  Environment,  the  work  is  divided  into  two  groups,  that 
which  concerns  the  position  of  the  part  in  (or  upon)  the  plant,  and, 
secondly,  the  difference  produced  in  the  plant  by  varying  amounts 
of  heat,  light  and  moisture.  A study  is  in  progress  as  to  the  rela- 
tion of  position  upon  the  plant  to  size  of  pod  in  peanuts,  beans,  etc., 
and  associated  with  this  is  a consideration  of  the  relation  of  place 
in  the  pod  to  size  of  seed.  For  example,  the  records  show  that  for 
scarlet  runner  the  seeds  of  2-seeded  pods  are  heavier  than  those 
borne  in  the  3-seeded  pods,  and  the  weight  decreases  quite  uni- 
formly as  the  number  of  seeds  in  the  pod  increases.  Experiments 
are  under  way  to  determine  whether  size  of  seed  is  an  index  of 
value  for  plant  production.  In  like  manner,  it  is  being  shown  that 
the  basal  seed  is  the  smallest  and  the  one  near  the  tip  the  largest  in 
the  pod. 


33 


Researches  concerning  the  physical  environment  of  the  plant  are 
chiefly  in  connection  with  the  greenhouse.  In  a study  of  the  influ- 
ence of  soil  temperature  upon  seedling  corn,  it  was  found  that  a 
summer  temperature  (25°  C.)  as  compared  with  that  of  late  autumn 
(12.50°  C.)  yields  63  per  cent  higher  viability,  while  the  lower 
temperature  gave  three  times  as  much  variability  in  size  among  the 
plants. 

Under  Toxicology,  the  researches  consider  the  influence  of  dif- 
ferent strengths  of  four  phosphatic  salts  of  calcium,  potassium, 
sodium  and  ammonium  upon  seedlings  of  Wilson  soybeans.  Asso- 
ciated with  this  work  is  a study  of  the  effects  of  different  strengths 
of  single  salts  in  stated  amounts  upon  the  germination  of  several 
kinds  of  seed. 

The  effect  of  surface  films  of  Bordeaux  mixture  upon  the  tran- 
spiring powers  of  tomato  leaves  has  been  studied  in  the  open  and  it 
was  found  that  the  transpiring  power  of  treated  leaves  is  nearly  a 
quarter  more  than  of  untreated  leaves  and  is  greatest  near  the  mid- 
dle of  the  day. 

During  the  past  year  a new  laboratory  has  been  built  adjoining 
the  greenhouse,  which  greatly  facilitates  the  work  in  plant  physi- 
ology. 

Entomology 

Investigations  are  in  progress  on  the  influence  of  atmospheric 
moisture  upon  insect  metabolism,  the  methods  of  controlling  the 
strawberry  weevil,  apple  aphis,  false  cabbage  aphis,  pear  psylla,  the 
efficiency  of  certain  types  of  covers  for  wintering  bees,  the  food 
preference  of  the  common  house  or  typhoid  fly,  and  the  problems 
connected  with  mosquito  control. 

Influence  of  Atmospheric  Moisture  upon  Insect  Metabolism 

Decrease  in  atmospheric  moisture  appears  to  shorten  the  pupal 
period  in  both  the  bean  weevil  ( Bruchus  obtecus  Say)  and  the  an- 
goumois  grain  moth  ( Sitotroga  cerealclla  Oliv.)  It  appears  also 
to  shorten  the  period  from  beginning  to  maximum  emergence.  De- 
crease in  atmospheric  moisture  appears  to  shorten  the  length  of 
adult  life  in  the  case  of  the  moth  and  to  lengthen  it  in  the  case  of  the 
beetle,  although  the  differences  in  this  instance  are  not  very  pro- 
nounced. Decrease  in  atmospheric  moisture  lengthens  the  period 
occupied  by  the  life  cycle  in  the  case  of  the  bean  weevil.  It  de- 
creases the  reproductive  ability  and  when  20  per  cent  or  below  ab- 


34 


solutely  prevents  reproduction  by  destroying  the  larvae  before  they 
are  able  to  penetrate  the  beans.  The  optimum  of  atmospheric 
moisture  for  the  bean  weevil  metabolism  from  the  standpoint  of 
direct  effect  appears  to  be  very  close  to  100  per  cent  but  inasmuch 
as  this  degree  of  humidity  promotes  the  growth  of  destructive  fungi 
the  optimum  must  be  placed  somewhere  between  75  and  100  per 
cent  at  a point  where  the  fungi  are  unable  to  develop.  Storage  of 
beans  in  an  atmosphere  with  moisture  of  20  per  cent  or  less  appears 
to  preserve  them  perfectly  from  the  attack  of  the  bean  weevil. 

Strawberry  Weevil 

The  rather  remarkable  results  obtained  last  year  in  the  control  of 
this  insect  by  the  use  of  mixtures  of  powdered  arsenate  of  lead  and 
sulfur  led  to  a repetition  of  the  dust  this  year.  The  experiments 
were  carried  out  in  three  different  counties  and  on  at  least  two 
farms  in  each  case.  The  work  at  Cologne  on  the  farm  of  Mr.  Wil- 
liam Oeser,  because  of  greater  care  in  the  application  of  the  mix- 
tures and  in  the  taking  of  data,  is  the  one  from  which  the  quota- 
tions will  be  given.  The  varieties  concerned  are  Heritage,  Cham- 
pion and  Doris.  Check  plots  were  left  on  each  side  of  each  of  the 
plots  treated  with  the  mixtures.  Three  treatments  with  powdered 
arsenate  of  lead  1 part  and  sulfur  5 parts  gave  2442  quarts  per  acre 
as  compared  with  an  average  of  832.5  quarts  on  the  checks.  Pow- 
dered arsenate  of  lead  1 part  plus  sulfur  1 part  gave  2604  quarts 
per  acre  as  compared  with  an  average  of  1072  quarts  on  the  checks. 
Powdered  arsenate  of  lead  alone  gave  1106  quarts  per  acre  as  com- 
pared with  an  average  of  763  quarts  on  the  checks.  Sulfur  alone 
gave  1313  quarts  per  acre  as  compared  with  an  average  of  831.5 
quarts  on  the  checks.  Thus  the  first  mixture  is  seen  to  give  1610.5 
quarts  per  acre  increase;  the  second  mixture  1532  quarts;  the 
sulfur  alone  481.5  quarts  and  the  lead  alone  343  quarts.  On  the 
basis  of  8 cents  a quart,  the  average  selling  price  for  good  berries 
in  that  section,  the  gain  chargeable  to  the  treatments  is  for  the  first 
mixture  $128.84;  for  the  second  $122.57 ; for  the  sulfur  alone  $38.52 
and  for  the  lead  alone  $27.44.  Inasmuch  as  the  average  cost  of 
treatment  is  about  $4.00  per  acre  for  the  first  and  $8.00  for  the 
second,  the  net  gain  per  acre  is  not  far  from  $100.00.  The  results 
from  the  1 to  5 mixture  are,  of  course,  the  better  of  the  two  and 
both  mixtures  are  much  more  effective  than  either  of  the  two  sub- 
stances of  which  they  are  composed.

Apple  Aphis 

The  species  principally  concerned  is  Aphis  sorbi  Kalt.  At  the 
orchard  of  Mr.  John  H.  Barclay  near  Cranbury  the  aphis  hatched 
the  day  before  the  time  the  completion  of  the  spraying  with  winter- 
strength  lime-sulfur  would  have  been  necessary  to  prevent  injury 
to  the  buds  and  to  prevent  the  lice  from  finding  shelter  against  the 
treatment.  At  the  J.  L.  Lippincott  orchards  at  Riverton,  hatching 
took  place  seven  or  eight  days  before  the  same  stage  of  bud  de- 
velopment was  reached.  At  the  Barclay  orchard,  it  was  necessary 
to  apply  the  winter-strength  lime-sulfur  before  the  aphis  hatched 
and  to  follow  the  hatching  of  the  aphis  with  a treatment  of  to- 
bacco extract,  soap  and  water.  At  the  Lippincott  orchards,  it  was 
possible  to  use  the  winter-strength  lime-sulfur  together  with  the 
tobacco  extract.  In  a set  of  experiments  relating  to  this  matter  it 
was  found  that  the  most  efficient  work  followed  the  application  of 
the  winter-strength  lime-sulfur  during  dormancy  and  the  tobacco 
extract  and  soap  at  the  green  bud  stage.  It  was  found  also  that  the 
use  of  “Scalecide”  after  the  aphis  hatched  destroyed  50  per  cent  of 
the  buds. 


False  Cabbage  Aphis 

This  species  was  recognized  for  the  first  time  in  New  Jersey  this 
fall,  but  there  is  evidence  to  show  that  it  has  been  present  for  a 
number  of  years  and  confused  with  other  species.  It  is  a pest  of 
considerable  importance  on  turnips  in  the  Freehold  district.  It  in- 
fests the  under  sides  of  the  leaves  and  the  drooping  habit  of  the 
turnip  plant  renders  its  destruction  extremely  difficult.  An  appar- 
atus for  lifting  the  foliage  and  exposing  the  louse  to  a spray  of 
tobacco  extract,  soap  and  water  was  devised  and  tried  out.  This 
aparatus  was  attached  to  an  Iron  Age  potato  sprayer. 

Pear  Psylla 

This  species  has  been  troublesome  in  Kieffer  and  Bartlett  or- 
chards in  the  southern  half  of  the  State.  Experiments  during  the 
past  summer  in  the  J.  L.  Lippincott  orchards  at  Riverton  indicate 
clearly  that  the  single  spray  application  of  winter-strength  lime- 
sulfur  just  before  the  flower  buds  open  for  destruction  of  the  egg 
will  not  control  the  insect  in  an  entirely  satisfactory  manner  where 
in  the  previous  year  no  attempt  at  control  has  been  made.  The  re- 
sults of  the  experiments  also  show  that  three  treatments — scraping, 


36 


dormant  spray  and  pre-blossom  spray — are  effective  under  these 
conditions.  It  may  also  be  said  that  similar  results  were  obtained 
in  the  Richdale  orchard  at  Phalanx,  New  Jersey,  the  preceding- 
year. 

Wintering  Bees 

This  investigation  is  concerned  with  types  of  insulation.  It  was 
found  that  the  C.  H.  Root  cover,  which  so  far  as  we  know  was 
devised  and  manufactured  by  Mr.  C.  H.  Root  of  Red  Bank,  is  more 
effective  in  preventing  sudden  and  sharp  changes  in  temperature  and 
large  consumption  of  stores,  and  in  increasing  early  brood  rearing, 
than  the  quadruple  cover  with  its  much  heavier  packing.  It  also 
appeared  that  the  saving  in  stores  and  the  increase  in  brood  is  am- 
ple to  pay  for  a large  part  of  the  cost  of  the  case  in  a single  season. 

Food  Preference  of  the  Common  House  or  Typhoid  Fly 

(1)  Glucose,  fructose,  galactose,  maltose,  lactose,  sucrose,  starch 
and  dextrin  were  not  very  attractive  to  house-flies.  Lactose  and 
dextrin  caught  the  largest  number  of  flies,  starch  the  least  Sucrose 
was  consistently  a poor  bait.  (2)  The  acids  and  alcohols  lured 
flies  in  the  following  order : 4 per  cent  amvlic  alcohol  (tech)  ; 10 
per  cent  acetic  acid;  10  per  cent  amylic  alcohol  (tech)  ; 4 per  cent 
ethyl  alcohol ; 10  per  cent  ethyl  alcohol,  and  4 per  cent  acetic  acid. 
Succinic  and  lactic  acids  showed  some  attractive  qualities  in  two 
experiments.  (3)  Maltose,  lactose,  sucrose  and  dextrin  in  4 per 
cent  solutions  of  amylic  alcohol,  ethyl  alcohol  and  acetic  acid  were 
more  frequently  visited  by  house  flies  than  the  corresponding 
aqueous  solutions.  Maltose  and  dextrin  solutions  were  more  effec- 
tive than  lactose  and  sucrose.  The  order  of  response  to  the  alco- 
hols and  acetic  acid  was  the  same  as  in  (2).  (4)  Crude  gluten 
from  wheat  flour,  consisting  largely  of  gliadin  and  glutenin,  was 
not  attractive.  Solutions  of  the  water-soluble  portion  of  wheat 
flour,  with  or  without  the  starch  in  suspension,  were  decidedly  at- 
tractive. (5)  Several  experiments  with  milk  indicate  that  fat-free 
caseinogen  is  attractive  while  butterfat  (ether  extract)  is  not.  (6) 
Experiments  suggest  that  aqueous  solutions  of  molasses  to  which 
sodium  arsenite  and  amylic  alcohol  (tech)  are  added  have  consid- 
erable value  as  a poisoned  bait  for  house-flies.  The  water-soluble 
portion  of  wheat  flour  containing  starch  in  suspension  also  gave 
good  results  with  the  same  additions.

Mosquito  Investigations  and  Control 
Our  salt-marsh  drainage  methods  have  been  standardized  and 
new  ones  introduced.  In  so  far  as  possible  the  narrow  salt-marsh 
trenching  is  now  laid  down  in  such  a fashion  that  all  ditches  have 
strong  tidal  outlets — no  trench  is  more  than  one-quarter  of  a mile 
in  length  unless  it  has  more  than  one  outlet — and  the  trenches  are 
so  connected  as  to  form  a circulating  system.  Low-lying  and  shut- 
in  marshes  near  large  cities  of  population  have  been  inclosed  in 
substantial  dikes  and  outletted  through  sluices  and  tide  gates.  When 
the  nature  of  the  outlet  has  demanded  it,  centrifugal  pumps  have 
been  installed.  A new  salt-marsh  drainage  machine  has  been  in- 
vented and  the  price  of  ditching  thereby  niaterially  reduced.  The 
invention  is  the  work  of  Mr.  H.  I.  Eaton,  chief  inspector  of  the 
Atlantic  County  Mosquito  Commission.  Our  knowledge  of  the 
habits  of  mosquitos  has  been  increased  by  (1)  the  determination  of 
the  type  of  wind  on  which  the  salt-marsh  species  travel — warm  winds 
Of  high  moisture  and  low  velocity  (10  miles  or  less  per  hour),  and 
(2)  the  determination  of  salinity  as  a factor  which  governs  the  geo- 
graphical distribution  of  the  breeding  of  the  two  principal  species 
of  salt-marsh  mosquitoes — low  salinity  (8  per  cent  or  less)  favor- 
ing A cantator  and  high  salinity  (12  per  cent  or  more)  favoring  A. 
sollicitans,  and  (3)  the  ditermination  of  rather  extended  migrations 
of  the  house  mosquito  (C.  pipiens) — the  distance  covered  being  in 
some  instances  2.5  miles.  Our  knowledge  of  the  effect  of  possible 
larvicidal  substances  has  been  increased  by  the  testing  of  sodium 
hydrate,  sodium  sulpho-carbonate,  borax,  copper  sulfate,  iron  sul- 
fate, pyrethrum,  nicotine  quassia,  hellebore,  ginger,  pyroligneous 
acid,  carbo-sul,  pyridine,  cresol,  lysol,  phenol  (crude),  a mixture  of 
pyridine,  xylol  and  rosin,  and  differing  samples  of  oils  furnished 
for  the  purpose  by  the  Standard  Oil  Company.  Five  hundred 
thousand  linear  feet  of  salt-marsh  ditching  has  been  thoroughly 
cleaned  and  the  obstructions  removed  from  all  of  the  rest  on  the 
Atlantic  Coast.  The  State  Experiment  Station  has  completed  the 
cutting  of  745,105  linear  feet  of  new  salt-marsh  ditching  and  the 
counties  have  cut  2,543,713  linear  feet  of  salt-marsh  ditching/These 
counties  have  patrolled  approximately  95,000  acres  of  salt-marsh 
throughout  the  last  mosquito-breeding  season,  covering  a coast  line 
of  125  miles.  They  have  patrolled  approximately  314,000  acres  of 
upland,  destroying  the  fresh-water  mosquito  breeding  as  it  was 
found.  They  have  afforded  a good  measure  of  protection  to  one

and  three-fourths  millions  of  people.  The  total  cost  of  the  opera- 
tion, aside  from  the  work  done  by  the  State  Experiment  Station, 
which  was  paid  for  mainly  from  last  year’s  funds,  is  less  than 
$216,000. 

Our  project  list  is  as  follows:  mosquito  investigations;  soil- 
infesting  insect  investigations;  peach  borer  investigations;  potato 
flea  beetle  investigations;  climate  and  insect  investigations;  straw- 
berry weevil  investigations ; hickory  bark  beetle  investigations ; 
orchard  plant  lice  investigations;  house  or  typhoid  fly  investiga- 
tions and  miscellaneous  investigations.  Under  miscellaneous  inves- 
tigations, we  have  included  false  cabbage  aphis,  the  pear  psylla 
and  bee  wintering.  It  ;s  proposed,  in  the  future,  to  follow  cer- 
tain especially  important  lines,  such  as  climate  and  insect,  mos- 
quito and  house-fly  studies  from  year  to  year  and  to  go  into  the 
phenomena  connected  therewith  to  the  greatest  possible  extent,, 
and  at  the  same  time  to  investigate  certain  phases  of  the  more 
seriously  injurious  species  at  the  particular  time  that  they  are  most 
abundant.  All  investigations,  except  those  relating  to  mosquitoes,, 
are  supported  with  the  Hatch  funds. 

Plant  Pathology 

During  the  past  year  the  correspondence  of  the  department  has 
been  very  heavy  and  it  has  been  impossible  to  do  as  much  in  the 
way  of  field  work  as  in  preceding  years.  The  attention  of  the 
department  has  been  called  to  225  diseases  of  agricultural  crops, 
some  of  which  are  of  considerable  importance.  The  experimental 
work  has  been  along  the  following  lines: 

1.  Work  has  been  continued  on  the  influence  of  sulfur  in  the 
control  of  potato  scab.  This  work  has  been  supported  by  a fellow- 
ship established  by  the  Union  Sulphur  Company  of  New  York  City. 
The  fellowship  has  expired  and  the  work  has  been  discontinued.  The 
results  indicate  that  the  application  of  sulfur  to  the  soil  is  bene- 
ficial under  certain  conditions,  especially  those  in  which  it  is  desir- 
able to  continue  the  planting  of  potatoes  in  the  same  soil  year  after 
year.  The  results  of  this  work  for  the  past  year  will  be  incor- 
porated in  the  annual  report  and  the  results  for  the  past  three 
years  in  a manuscript  for  a bulletin.  A resume  of  the  results 
will  be  published  as  a circular  of  the  Station. 

2.  A long  series  of  experiments  has  been  conducted  on  the 
treatment  of  foliage  diseases  of  potatoes.  The  results  in  different 
parts  of  the  State  are  extremely  variable,  but  it  appears  that  spray- 


39 


ing  of  the  late  crop  of  potatoes  in  South  Jersey  can  usually  be 
carried  on  with  profit.  The  results  of  this  work  for  the  past  year 
also  will  be  submitted  in  circular  form. 

3.  The  department  has  conducted  a number  of  experiments  with 
diseased  and  healthy  seed  potatoes  at  the  College  Farm,  the  seed 
having  been  furnished  by  the  Maine  Agricultural  Experiment  Sta- 
tion, the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture  and  from  many 
sources  in  New  Jersey.  This  line  of  work  should  be  continued 
for  a number  of  years. 

4.  Experiments  are  being  conducted  on  the  control  of  the  various 
diseases  of  the  celery  in  Bergen  County.  These  experiments  have 
involved  soil  sterilization,  and,  while  the  results  are  very  promis- 
ing, the  importance  of  the  celery  crop  in  New  Jersey  is  such  as 
will  justify  a much  more  extended  line  of  experimental  work. 

5.  Experimental  work  is  also  in  progress  on  the  control  of  the 
foliage  diseases  of  celery  and  the  results  have  been  very  grati- 
fying. 

6.  Studies  are  being  made  on  the  control  of  foliage  diseases 
of  tomatoes  at  Salem,  New  Jersey.  This  work  is  in  cooperation 
with  the  United  States  Bureau  of  Plant  Industry  and  the  H.  J. 
Heinz  Company.  The  results  are  encouraging,  but  many  diffi- 
culties, beyond  control,  seriously  interfered  with  the  work.  The 
tomato  industry  is  of  very  great  importance,  and  the  control  of 
the  disease  is  the  most  important  factor  in  tomato  production  at 
the  present  time.  The  nature  of  these  diseases  is  such  that  it  will 
probably  require  a long  period  of  study  to  solve  satisfactorily  the 
problems  in  hand.  It  is  very  probable  that  arrangements  may  be 
made  for  a continuation  of  this  work  in  cooperation  with  the 
United  States  Bureau  of  Plant  Industry. 

7.  For  a short  period  last  summer  the  department  continued 
its  studies  of  the  brown  blotch  of  the  pear.  Very  interesting  data 
have  been  accumulated  and  it  is  recommended  that  arrangements 
be  made  whereby  similar  studies  may  be  carried  on  in  the  sum- 
mer of  1917. 

8.  A manuscript  on  the  parasitic  fungi  of  New  Jersey  is  almost 
ready  for  publication.  The  work  will  be  continued  from  year  to 
year  with  the  idea  of  publishing  supplements  either  as  independent 
bulletins  or  as  a part  of  the  annual  report. 

Many  studies  have  been  made  of  problems,  the  results  of  which 
will  be  published  from  time  to  time.

Epidemics 

Several  plant  diseases  which  are  discussed  below  have  been  of 
sufficient  importance  to  be  classed  as  epidemics. 

Peach  yellow  and  little  peach  were  much  more  severe  than  for 
many  years  past.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  it  has  been  found 
necessary  to  discontinue  the  distribution  of  the  bud  wood  to  the 
nurserymen  of  the  State.  It  is  believed  that  there  is  no  better 
method  of  controlling  this  disease  than  for  the  State  to  furnish 
bud  wood  from  healthy  trees  to  the  nurserymen  and,  where  pos- 
sible, to  the  growers. 

The  mosaic  disease  of  tomatoes  has  been  exceptionally  severe,, 
and  was  undoubtedly  a great  factor  in  the  reduction  of  the  yield. 

Mosaic  disease  of  peppers  was  very  severe,  but  its  importance 
is  not  recognized  by  many  growers. 

Mosaic,  leaf  roll  and  Rhizoctonia  of  the  potato  were  the  cause 
of  heavy  losses. 

The  early  blight  of  the  celery  was  the  cause  of  heavy  loss  in 
celery-growing  localities. 

Fire  blight  of  the  apple  and  pear  was  epidemic,  but  not  so 
severe  as  in  1915. 

Many  complaints  have  been  received  concerning  trouble  with 
shade  trees,  but,  for  lack  of  assistance,  these  problems  could 
not  be  investigated. 

Problems  for  1917 

The  following  are  some  of  the  problems  with  which  the  depart- 
ment will  be  concerned  in  1917. 

1.  A continuation  of  the  study  of  diseases  carried  in  seed  pota- 
toes (Plot  work  at  the  College  Farm). 

2.  Diseases  of  tomatoes. 

3.  Diseases  of  celery. 

4.  Injurious  effect  of  fungi  on  paints. 

5.  Diseases  of  ornamental  plants. 

6.  Diseases  of  orchard  crops,  especially  the  brown  blotch  of 
the  pear. 

7.  Crown  gall  and  other  abnormal  root  growths. 

8.  Soil  sterilization. 

9.  Diseases  of  beans  along  the  line  of  developing  resistant 
strains.

Needs  of  the  Department 

The  demands  of  farmers  for  personal  inspections  of  growing 
crops  and  the  heavy  correspondence  make  it  desirable  that  an 
associate  plant  pathologist  be  appointed.  He  should  be  in  a posi- 
tion to  carry  on  a considerable  amount  of  this  work.  He  should 
be  especially  interested  in  truck  crops,  as  these  will  demand  a 
great  deal  of  attention  in  the  very  near  future.  There  is  also 
need  for  a well  trained  man,  capable  of  distinguishing  diseases 
which  have  very  similar  symptoms,  but  which  require  different 
treatments,  to  direct  demonstration  work.  Such  a man  would  keep 
in  close  touch  with  the  problems  of  the  State  and  would  prevent 
many  failures  which  are  now  the  result  of  a confusion  of  diseases 
which  present  similar  external  symptoms.  He  would  also  tabulate 
the  results  t>f  the  control  work  through  the  State  in  a way  that 
would  be  advantageous  to  all  parties  concerned. 

The  necessity  for  study  on  diseases  of  tomatoes  and  eggplants 
is  very  urgent. 

Inspection  Work 

The  inspection  work  under  the  direction  of  the  State  Department 
of  Agriculture  has  been  very  satisfactory.  The  most  important 
development  in  this  line  of  work  has  been  the  finding  of  the  blister 
rust  of  the  white  pine  in  New  Jersey.  It  would  now  appear  that 
the  situation  is  well  in  hand,  but  the  conditions  in  other  states 
lead  the  writer  to  believe  that  the  white  pine  will  be  wiped  out  in 
the  same  manner  as  the  chestnut  forests. 

The  Experiment  Station  Library 

The  Experiment  Station  Library  is  conducted  as  a branch  of 
the  Rutgers  College  Library.  There  are  now  approximately  5,000 
bound  volumes  in  the  library,  and  a large  amount  of  unbound 
material  in  the  form  of  bulletins,  circulars  and  reports  of  the 
various  experiment  stations  and  of  the  United  States  Department 
of  Agriculture,  as  well  as  the  leading  scientific  journals  relating  to 
agriculture,  current  farm  papers  and  periodicals,  newspapers  of 
the  State  and  various  other  publications.  An  effort  is  made  to 
keep  two  complete  files  of  the  publications  of  the  state  experiment 
stations,  the  state  departments  of  agriculture  and  the  United  States 
Department  of  Agriculture.  Considerable  time  has  been  spent  in 
an  effort  to  secure  missing  numbers  to  complete  the  files  up  to  date 


42 


preparatory  to  having  the  various  series  bound.  About  300  vol- 
umes of  these  bulletins,  circulars  and  reports  have  been  bound  dur- 
ing the  past  year.  At  present  there  is  an  equivalent  of  about  500 
volumes  of  unbound  material  of  this  class  alone  awaiting  com- 
pletion before  sending  to  the  binders.  Acknowledgement  is  due 
the  directors  and  librarians  of  the  different  experiment  stations 
who  have  so  readily  cooperated  in  furnishing  publications  which 
were  missing  from  the  files.  Also,  a large  number,  of  unbound 
publications  which  were  needed  to  complete  some  sets  were  pre- 
sented to  the  Library  by  Dr.  Jacob  G.  Lipman,  Dr.  Byron  D.  Hal- 
sted,  Mr.  James  Neilson  and  the  late  Dr.  Julius  Nelson.  The  State 
Department  of  Agriculture  contributed  over  100  bound  volumes  of 
various  reports  and  some  valuable  unbound  bulletins. 

An  effort  has  been  made  to  complete  the  various  sets  of  live 
stock  record  books;  and,  through  the  courtesy  of  the  different 
record  associations,  a number  of  sets  have  been  completed  to  date 
and  others  added  to  materially.  A new  card  index  of  the  publi- 
cations of  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture  was 
purchased.  Considerable  unbound  material  was  moved  from  the 
College  Library  and  is  being  arranged  for  use. 

The  library  records  show  that  approximately  800  volumes  and 
unbound  publications  were  loaned  during  the  year.  About  75 
volumes  Avere  borrowed  from  the  Library  of  the  United  States 
Department  of  Agriculture  and  the  Library  of  Congress,  Wash- 
ington, D.  C.,  for  the  use  of  the  experiment  station  workers. 

The  library  is  now  badly  overcrowded  and  more  space  is  needed. 
Also,  before  the  library  can  be  put  upon  an  efficient  working 
basis,  much  work  needs  to  be  done  in  completing  sets,  binding  and 
cataloging.  This  cannot  be  done  without  the  expenditure  of  more 
funds  for  purchasing  missing  publications,  for  binding  and  for 
the  employment  of  additional  clerical  help.

The  Station  has  suffered  a great  loss  through  the  unexpected  death 
of  Dr.  Julius  Nelson,  which  occurred  on  February  15,  1916.  Dr. 
Nelson  served  for  many  years  as  Biologist  of  the  Station,  and  in 
this  capacity  carried  on  important  research.  The  results  of  his" 
investigations  form  a distinct  addition  to  our  knowledge  of  oyster 
propagation  and  oyster  culture.  His  loss  is  keenly  felt  by  his 
associates. 

Mr.  D.  Manley  Jobbins,  in  charge  of  the  greenhouses  of  the  Sta- 
tion since  September  1,  1908,  died  suddenly  on  November  9,  1916. 
Mr.  Jobbins  was  an  unusually  faithful  and  efficient  employee.  His 
loyalty  and  service  were  highly  prized  and  his  untimely  death  is 
regretted  by  all  who  knew  him.

TIIE  INFLUENCE  OF.  SALINITY  ON  THE  DEVELOPMENT 
OF  CERTAIN  SPECIES  OF  MOSQUITO  LARVAE  AND 
ITS  BEARING  ON  THE  PROBLEM  OF  THE 
DISTRIBUTION  OF  SPECIESl

Introduction 


In  the  course  of  an  extensive  study  of  the  activity  of  the  killi- 
fishes  of  the  New  Jersey  coast,  it  was  deemed  desirable  to  obtain 
records  of  the  salinity,  specific  gravity  and  temperature  of  the  water 
from  which  each  collection  was  made.  In  the  course  of  such  record 
taking  it  was  noted  that  considerable  differences  in  salinity  existed 
in  pools  which  contained  mosquito  larvae. 

On  April  18,  1915,  two  series  of  experimental  jars  were  set  up 
in  one  of  the  laboratories  of  the  Entomology  Building.  The  first 
series  consisted  of  11  jars.  The  series  began  with  100  c.  c.  of  sea 
water  from  the  Raritan  Bay,  with  a salinity  of  13  per  cent  and  ran 
down  by  steps  of  10-c.  c.  dilution  with  distilled  water  to  pure  distilled 
water  in  the  eleventh  jar.  The  object  of  this  experiment  was  to 
determine  what  changes  would  take  place  in  the  larvae  of  salt-marsh 
mosquitoes  taken  from  pools  with  a degree  of  salinity  of  about  7 
or  8 per  cent  and  forced  to  develop  in  water  of  a low  salinity.  The 
intention  was  also  to  subject  Culex  pipiens  Linn,  to  a saline  medium 
and  to  try  to  change  it  into  a salt-water  species.  The  second  series 
was  composed  of  boiled  down  sea  water,  graduated  in  series  by  eight 
steps  from  16  to  35  per  cent  salinity.  In  this  experiment  the  object 
.was  to  determine  what  was  the  minimum  toxic  strength  of  salinity 
for  the  species  used.  The  two  series  were  supplemented  by  controls 
and  bv  two  jars  of  a 50-50  mixture  of  13  per  cent  sea  water  and 
distilled  water,  placed  at  two  different  temperatures,  one  kept  low 
by  running  water  (53°F.)  the  other  placed  in  the  greenhouse  where 
the  temperature  ran  up  to  75°F.  at  times.  The  jars  were  covered 
with  cheese  cloth  after  having  been  supplied  with  5 second-moult  and 
10  first-moult  larvie  of  the  mosquito  Aedes  cantator  Coq.  In  the 
preparation  of  these  experiments  the  writer  was  aided  by  Mr.  Ray- 
mond S.  Patterson,  who  not  only  determined  the  species,  but  aided 
in  preparing  the  jars  of  solution. 

In  the  series  running  down  from  13  per  cent  it  was  noted  that

the  larvae  died  rather  quickly  in  the  distilled  water  and  in  the  higher 
percentages.  In  the  series  graduated  from  16  per  cent  up  to  35  per 
cent  salt,  all  larvae  died  in  the  22  per  cent  jar  in  two  days.  Just  as 
the  records  of  these  preliminary  experiments  were  being  considered 
and  plans  were  being  made  for  a more  extensive  series,  the  writer 
was  invited  by  Mr.  Patterson  to  go  on  a collecting  trip  to  Port 
Monmouth.  On  this  trip  Mr.  Patterson  and  the  writer  took  salini- 
ties of  many  pools,  including  some  which  contained  no  larvae.  Two 
pools  in  particular  engaged  our  attention.  One  with  a temperature 
of  64°  F.  and  a salinity  of  22  per  cent  contained  larvae  of  the  species 
Aedes  sollicitans  Wlk.  of  the  second  moult;  the  other  pool  not  ten 
feet  away  and  similar  in  size,  depth  and  character  of  bottom,  with 
a temperature  of  67°  F.  and  a salinity  of  24  per  cent  contained  no 
larvae  at  all.  As  there  was  no  evidence  of  the  presence  of  larvae  of 
any  sort  or  of  efficient  natural  enemies  in  the  second  pool,  the  ob- 
servation seemed  important,  particularly  in  the  light  of  the  pre- 
liminary experiments  performed  in  the  laboratory.  Accordingly,  Mr. 
Patterson  and  the  writer  decided  to  carry  on  a large  series  of  ex- 
periments to  discover  the  effects  of  high  salinity  on  the  viability  of 
mosquito  larvae  at  different  stages.  Mr.  Patterson  was  shortly  forced 
to  discontinue  his  work  with  the  writer,  hut  has  aided  substantially 
by  furnishing  larvae  and  field  notes  as  well  as  by  advice  and  infor- 
mation. 

On  receiving  the  report  of  these  findings,  Dr.  T.  J.  ITeadlee. 
entomologist  of  the  New  Jersey  Agricultural  Experiment  Station, 
immediately  saw  the  possible  bearing  on  species  distribution  and  the 
problem  of  mosquito  extermination  and  arranged  to  have  his  inspec- 
tors secure  temperature  and  salinity  records  of  the  distribution  of  the 
mosquito  larvae  throughout  the  state. 

Material  and  Methods 

Tn  conducting  the  experimental  work  it  was  found  desirable  to 
confine  the  work  largely  to  the  two  dominant  species  of  salt-marsh 
mosquitoes,  Aedes  sollicitans  Wlk.  and  Aedcs  cantator  Coq.  Several 
experiments  were  performed  with  other  species,  including  Culex  sal- 
inarius  Coq.,  Aedes  sylvestris  Theob.,  and  Culex  pipiens  Linn. 

As  material  was  brought  into  the  laboratory,  the  field  records 
of  temperature,  salinity  and  condition  of  the  pools  were  tabulated 
by  Mr.  F.  E.  Mehrhof.  Species  were  determined  usually  by  an 
assistant  in  the  entomological  laboratory,  Mr.  W.  TT.  W.  Komp.  The 
larvae  of  different  species  were  separated  according  to  age  and  species 
and  placed  in  jars  of  salt  water  of  the  proper  salinity  to  agree 
most  nearly  with  their  source.  To  the  salt-water  jars  were  usually 
added  small  quantities  of  the  original  water,  in  order  to  keep  up 
the  faunal  and  floral  food  supply.  The  jars  were  covered  with  cheese 
cloth  to  keep  out  dirt  and  to  prevent  the  escape  of  adult  mosquitoes. 

For  experimental  purposes,  jars  3 3/4  inches  in  diameter  and 


5 


6 3/4  inches  in  height  were  chosen.  In  each  of  these  was  placed  200 
c.  c.  of  the  solution  to  be  used.  In  the  case  of  the  various  short  series 
of  salt  water  used  as  preliminary  and  as  final  checks  on  the  experi- 
ments the  graduations  were  from  4 per  cent  salintiy  to  35  per  cent 
or  40  per  cent  salinity  by  rather  widely  separated  steps.  Other  short 
series  ran  from  4 per  cent  salinity  to  13  per  cent  or  14  per  cent 
salinity.  In  the  long  series  which  was  run  for  all  the  species  of 
larvae  at  least  once,  and  for  certain  of  them  at  least  twice,  22  jars 
were  used.  The  first  21  jars  contained  200  c.  c.  of  water  graduated 
from  c.  c.  of  the  stock  solution  of  40  per  cent  salinity,  by  10-c.  c. 
differences  down  to  the  stock  solution  of  200  c.  c.  of  distilled  water, 
redistilled  through  a glass  condenser.  The  22nd  jar  contained  200 
c.  c.  of  control  water,  usually  from  the  original  solution,  always  from 
the  jar  in  which  the  larvae  were  flourishing  when  the  experiment 
was  begun.  In  the  long  series  the  salinities  varied  between  2 and 
3 per  cent  in  difference  of  salinity  from  the  40  per  cent  down  to 
the  distilled  water.  The  salinities  were  tested  at  the  beginning  of 
the  experiment  and  at  the  end.  Although  the  complete  records  are 
not  shown  on  the  graphs  to  follow,  records  were  taken  of  the  jars 
long  after  anything  but  the  factor  of  starvation  could  be  considered 
as  potent.  The  jars  were  covered  with  pieces  of  cheese  cloth,  bound 
tightly  to  their  necks  by  rubber  bands.  As  daily  records  were  taken.; 
a long  glass  rod  was  used  to  rap  on  the  side  of  the  jar  or  even  to 
poke  the  larvae  slightly  to  determine  their  state  of  health.  Dead 
larvae  and  pupae  were  not  removed  from  the  jars  but  living  adults 
were  identified  and  allowed  to  escape  into  cyanide  jars. 

In  some  of  the  preliminary  and  check  experiments,  as  few  as  10 
larvae  to  each  jar  were  used;  in  the  long  series  and  in  many  of  the 
short  ones,  either  20  or  25  larvae  were  placed  in  each  jar. 

In  the  work  of  examining  the  jars  and  making  daily  counts, 
too  much  credit  cannot  be  given  to  Mr.  F.  E.  Mehrhof  who  recorded 
faithfully  every  point  called  for  and  added  much  to  the  success  of 
the  experiments  by  the  precision  and  extent  of  his  records.  Although 
his  records  were  repeatedly  checked  by  the  writer,  no  single  error 
was  detected. 

The  laboratory  used  for  the  experiments  was  a basement  room 
in  the  building  occupied  by  the  various  departments  of  animal  and 
plant  biology  of  Rutgers  College.  The  room  was  available  through 
the  generosity  of  Dr.  Julius  Nelson,  biologist  of  the  State  of  New 
Jersey,  to  whom  many  thanks  are  due  for  the  loan  of  apparatus  and 
chemicals. 

Experimental  Evidence 

In  attacking  the  problem  of  the  effects  of  salinity  on  the  viability 
of  the  various  species  of  mosquito  larvae,  it  was  found  desirable  to 
study  not  only  the  effects  of  various  concentrations  of  sea  water,  but 
also  to  study  the  effects  of  the  pure  salts  found  normally  in  sea 
water,  including  chiefly — CaCl2,  MgS04,  KC1  and  NaCl.  It  was 


6 


also  deemed  wise  to  run  experiments  to  determine  the  reason  why 
the  water  of  cedar  swamps  does  not  breed  either  Culex  pipiens  Liinn. 
or  the  salt-marsh  mosquitoes. 

Effects  of  Sea  Water 

In  this  experiment  jars  were  prepared  containing  200  c.  c.  each 
of  distilled  water  and  water  ranging  in  salinity  from  4 per  cent  to 
12  per  cent  by  steps  of,  2 per  cent.  Ten  egg  boats  of  0.  pipiens 
were  placed  in  each  jar  and  daily  records  of  the  number  hatched 
and  the  number  dead  were  taken. 


FIG.  1. — Graph  showing  larvae  hatched  from  60  egg  boats  of  Culex 
piptens  Linn,  in  22  hours.  Ordinate  gives  number  hatched; 
abscissa  gives  salinity  of  water. 

At  a salinity  of  4 per  cent,  the  maximum  number  of  larvae  (300) 
were  hatched.  At  the  end  of  72  hours  there  were  400  larvae  hatched 
in  the  4 per  cent  jar  but %11  were  dead.  With  so  few  egg  boats  in 
each  jar  (10)  it  is  probable  that  the  difference  between  the  number 
hatched  in  the  jars  is  of  little  significance. 

When  we  consider  the  viability  of  the  larvae  hatched,  the  salinity 
is  seen  to  have  a direct  bearing  on  the  case.  Here  also  the  number 
of  first  moult  larvae  is  worthy  of  statistical  examination. 

The  records  of  hatched  larvae  show  that  in  distilled  water  only 
60  larvae  hatched,  but  12  of  these  were  alive  at  the  end  of  the 
seventh  day;  in  4 per  cent  salinity  400  larvae  hatched,  but  all  were 
dead  on  the  third  day;  in  6 per  cent  salinity  150  larvae  hatched 
and  of  these  there  were  3 alive  at  the  end  of  the  seventh  dajr;  in  8 
per  cent  salinity  225  larvae  hatched,  and  there  were  6 alive  at  the 
end  of  the  seventh  day;  in  10  per  cent  and  12  per  cent  salinities  all 
the  larvae  (over  100)  were  dead  at  the  end  of  the  first  day. 

It  is  evident  from  these  experiments  that  even  if  some  of  the 
larvae  of  C.  pipiens  do  hatch  in  salt  water,  few  of  them  are  able  to 
withstand  the  toxic  action  of  the  salt.  The  writer  hopes,  however 
to  show  by  experiments  that  C.  salinarius  and  C.  pipiens  are  really 
the  same  species,  and  that  in  nature  when  the  salinity  of  the  water  is 


gradually  increased  by  evaporation,  even  C.  pipiens  may  become  ac- 
climatized. 

In  discussing  the  eggs  of  mosquitoes,  Howard,  Dyar  and  Knab 
(3)  mention  the  work  of  certain  French  investigators  in  which  it 
was  shown  that  the  eggs  of  A.  calopus  would  not  hatch  in  pure  sea 
water  but  would  hatch  in  a mixture  of  30  to  35  per  cent  sea  water 
with  fresh  water.  The  larvae  hatched  and  developed  into  imagoes. 
In  a mixture  of  40  per  cent  sea  water  the  larvae  did  not  develop. 

Although  the  salinity  of  the  sea  water  is  not  given,  it  is  not 
likely  that  it  exceeded  20  per  cent.  Comparing  the  investigation  with 
my  own  experiments,  it  is  evident  that  the  actual  salinity  of  the  40 
per  cent  mixture  could  not  exceed  the  10  per  cent  of  my  series. 

In  a short  series  including  jars  ranging  from  control  and  dis- 
tilled water  to  13  per  cent  salinity,  10  first-mo ult  larvae  of  C.  pipiens 
were  placed  in  each  jar.

moult  larvae  of 
C.  pipiens  at 
the  end  of  16 
hours. 


The  accompanying  graph  shows  the  death  curve 
at  the  end  of  16  hours. 

The  death  curve  begins  at  8 per  cent  and  runs  up 
sharply  to  10  per  cent  where  all  the  larvae  are  dead. 
In  the  lowest  salinity,  4 per  cent,  and  in  both 
distilled  water  and  control  jars  the  larvae  were  all 
alive  at  the  end  of  5 days. 

In  collecting  larvae  it  was  noted  that  at  times  the 
young  first-moult  larvae  of  several  salt-marsh  species 
appeared  in  the  same  pools.  One  such  collection 
furnished  material  for  a long  series  with  25  larvae 
in  each  jar  and  with  31  jars  ranging  in  salinity 
from  4 per  cent  to  40  per  cent. 


FIG.  3. — Graph  showing  long  series  of  25  first-moult  larvae  of  A.  soilin'- 
tans,  A cantator  and  A.  Sylvestris , af  ter  21  hours. 

On  the  conclusion  of  the  experiment,  count  was  made  to  deter- 
mine the  number  of  each  species  represented  in  the  experiment. 


Of  me  number  of  larvae  which  were  identifiable,  there  were  219 
A.  cantator,  118  A.  sylvesiris  and  59  A.  sollicitans. 

Examination  of  the  graph  (fig.  3)  shows  that  at  the  end  of 
21  hours  one  larva  was  still  living  in  the  jar  containing  an  18  1/2 
per  cent  solution  of  sea  water,  but  in  the  jar  containing  an  18  per 
cent  solution  and  in  all  others  above  that  percentage,  all  larvae  were 
dead.  At  16  per  cent,  14  of  the  25  larvae  were  dead.  The  control 
showed  no  deaths  at  the  end  of  5 days. 

The  majority  of  the  work  done  by  the  writer  on  mosquito  larvae 
was  carried  on  with  larvae  of  the  second  moult. 

Long  and  short  series  were  run  with  second-moult  larvae  of  the 
species  A.  sollicitans , A.  cantator,  A.  sylvestris  and  C.  pipiens.  For 
convenience  in  examination  of  the  graphs,  three  of  the  long  series 
including  A.  sollicitans,  A.  cantator  and  C.  pipiens  have  been  grouped 
in  figure  4.

A.  sollicitans 

In  this  graph  which  shows  the  larvae  killed  at  the  end  of  26 
hours,  it  will  be  noted  that  in  the  low  salinities  there  is  considerable 
mortality,  but  that  the  sharp  ascent  of  the  death  curve  begins  at 
about  21  per  cent  and  runs  to  28  per  cent  where  all  the  larvae  are 
killed.  The  control  and  distilled  water  jars  showed  no  deaths  at  the 
end  of  the  period  of  26  hours.  After  two  or  three  days  cannibalism 
becomes  notable  in  experiments  in  which  the  food  supply  is  not  kept 

The  larvae  of  the  second  moult  of  A.  sollicitans  were  killed  by  a 
salinity  of  32  per  cent  in  less  than  18  hours  and  by  a salinity  of 
24  per  cent  in  less  than  30  hours.  At  the  end  of  44  hours  in  all 
series  run,  it  was  found  that  A.  sollicitans  larvae  were  killed  in  a salin- 
ity of  21  per  cent. 

While  the  higher  salinities  are  so  toxic  for  A.  sollicitans , it  must 
be  noted  that  the  larvae  do  not  develop  so  rapidly  in  water  of  a 
salinity  below  6 per  cent.  In  considering  this,  we  must  give  due 
weight  to  the  question  of  starvation  in  the  experimental  jars.  It  is 
very  certain  that  the  larvae  of  A.  sollicitans  are  occasionally  found 
in  water  of  a salinity  as  low  as  6 or  7 per  cent  in  company  with  the 
larvae  of  A.  cantator. 

It  has  been  noted  by  Graham  (1)  and  others  that  when  common 
salt  is  added  to  jars  containing  larvae  with  a plentiful  food  supply, 
in  the  jars  with  low  salinity  the  larvae  are  retarded  in  their  de- 
velopment, apparently  as  a result  of  starvation  with  the  food  destroy- 
ed, but  the  development  of  the  full-grown  larvae  is  apparently  hastened 
by  the  hypertonic  solution. 

In  this  paper  it  is  impracticable  to  attempt  to  bring  together 
the  evidence  of  the  author  on  the  effects  of  hypertonic  solutions  on 
rate  of  development  in  mosquito  larvae.  It  is  hoped,  however,  that 
the  material  already  recorded  may  be  supplemented  by  further  work 
and  the  whole  placed  on  record  at  an  early  date. 

Aedes  cantator  Coq. 

In  the  graph  under  consideration  the  death  curve  is  shown  at 
the  end  of  24  hours.  The  larvae  were  all  killed  in  the  24  per  cent 
salinity  and  above,  at  the  end  of  the  24  hours,  and  it  will  be  noted 
that  there  were  many  deaths  in  the  lower  salinities.  The  curve 
ascends  gradually  from  8 per  cent  to  15  per  cent,  where  it  rapidly 
rises  to  record  18  dead  larvae  at  17  per  cent  salinity. 

Found  normally  in  water  of  a salinity  from  4 per  cent  to  6 per 
cent  lower  than  that  favoring  the  development  of  A.  sollicitans,  we 
would  naturally  expect  to  learn  that  the  larvae  of  A.  cantator  are 
more  susceptible  to  the  higher  concentrations  of  sea  water.  In  less 
than  12  hours  the  majority  of  the  larvae  of  the  second  moult  are 
dead  in  solutions  above  14  per  cent,  while  all  are  killed  at  24  per  cent 
and  above  even  in  so  short  a time. 

Culex  pipiens  Linn. 

In  this  graph  which  shows  the  deaths  at  the  end  of  18  hours

in  a long  series  of  larvae  of  the  second  moult  of  C.  pipiens , the  larvae 
are  shown  to  be  killed  by  a very  low  per  cent.  The  curve  begins  at 
about  4 per  cent  and  runs  sharply  up  to  10  per  cent,  where  24  of 
the  25  larvae  are  dead.  Above  10  per  cent  all  the  larvae  were  killed. 
In  the  control  and  distilled  water  jars  the  larvae  survived  over  a week 
without  food,  except  that  the  distilled  water  jar  showed  a loss  of  two 
larvae  from  cannibalistic  brethren. 

At  the  end  of  41  hours  in  this  series,  the  death  curve  runs 
sharply  up  from  4,  per  cent  to  8 percent  salinity  where  all  larvae 
are  dead. 

The  graph  for  deaths  of  Aedes  sylvestris  Theob.  will  not  be  pre- 
sented. This  series  was  a single  long  series  with  25  larvae  in  each 
jar  and  was  not  repeated,  neither  was  it  checked,  as  were  the  others, 
by  several  short  series.  At  the  end  of  47  hours  all  larvae  of  the 
second  moult  of  A.  sylvestris  were  dead  in  solutions  beginning  with 
8 per  cent  salinity.  The  death  curve  runs  rapidly  from  4 per  cent 
to  8 per  cent  salinity. 

Culex  salinarius  Coq.  which  is  a salt-marsh  mosquito  almost 
identical  with  C.  pipiens  lives  in  comparatively  fresh  water  and  ex- 
periments showed  that  even  the  second  moult  larvae  succumb  when 
placed  in  water  with  a salinity  of  8 per  cent  or  higher. 

Although  many  records  were  taken  by  the  writer  and  others 
of  the  optimum  salinities  for  the  larvae  of  the  third  moult  in  nature, 
but  one  long  series  is  worthy  of  record. 


FIG.  5. — Graphs  representing  larvae  of  the  third  moult  of  the  species 
A.  sollicitans,  A.  cantator  and  A.  sylvestris  as  effected  by  the  salinity 
of  the  water. 

At  the  end  of  the  period  of  18  hours  indicated  in  figure  5,  the 
death  curve  rises  rapidly  from  8 per  cent  to  14  per  cent,  above  which 
all  larvae  are  dead.  At  the  end  of  23  hours,  all  larvae  were  killed  in 
the  jars  with  a per  cent  of  8 or  more  of  salts. 

Many  workers  on  the  mosquito  problem  have  recorded  the  oc- 
currence of  larvae  in  water  of  a rather  high  content  of  salts.  Some 
few  investigators  have  studied  the  effects  of  common  salt  on  the 
development  of  the  fresh-water  forms.  Drawing  rather  largely  on 


11 


the  literature  reviewed  by  Howard,  Dyar  and  Knab  (3),  we  find  that 
certain  species  of  larvae  breed  in  Algeria  in  water-  with  40  gin.  of 
salt  to  the  liter. 

The  Brazilian  investigators  (quoting  Howard,  Dyar  and  Knab) 
found  that  larvae  of  A.  calopus  died  in  one  day  in  water  which  con- 
tained a 30  per  cent  mixture  of  sea  water.  In  water  consisting  of 
a 20  per  cent  mixture  of  sea  water  with  fresh,  the  larvae  failed  to 
pupate  and  died  after  3 days.  The  higher  salinities  prolonged 
the  larval  periods  in  cases  where  the  toxic  effect  was  not  so  great. 

While  experiments  have  been  performed  to  determine  the  toxicity 
of  salts  on  mosquito  larvae  there  is  no  record  of  a study  which  con- 
siders the  relation  of  salinity  to  distribution  nor  which  shows  the 
variable  toxicity  to  be  dependent  on  the  species  as  well  as  the  salinity 
of  the  pools  from  which  larvae  were  taken.  The  following  table  shows, 
the  resistance  of  the  mosquito  larvae  and  the  per  cent  salinities  of  the 
source  pools.

Two -series  of  experiments  were  run.  with  pupae  of  A.  sollicitans 
and  A.  pipiens,  respectively.  The  results  obtained  from  the  use 
of  a long  series  of  31  jars  each  indicate  that  even  a 4-0  per  cent 
solution  of  sea  water  is  not  strong  enough  to  kill  a pupa,  nor  to 
prevent  it  from  emerging  in  a normal  manner.  A few  pupae  were 
killed  in  some  of  the  jars  but  the  majority  developed  into  adults. 
Field  observations  by  the  writer  show  that  in  large  shallow  salt  pools 
which  present  a considerable  area  to  the  rays  of  the  sun  and  in 
which  evaporation  goes  on  rapidly,  mosquito  larvae  may  become  grad- 
ually acclimatized  as  the  salinity  increases  and  may  actually  thrive 
in  a salinity  of  over  20  per  cent.  In  connection  with  these  records 
it  is  interesting  to  note  similar  observations  made  by  the  Brazilian 
investigators  and  reviewed  by  Howard,  Dyar  and  Knab  (3).  The 
Brazilian  workers  found  that  the  pupae  of  A.  calopus  produced  ima- 
goes when  placed  in  pure  sea  water. 

Toxicity  of  Pure  Salts  of  Sea  Water 
In  order  to  determine  the  relative  toxicities  of  the  salts  of  sea 
water,  experiments  were  run  first  with  molecular  and  1/2  molecular 
solutions  of  each  salt,  then  with  series  ranging  from  1/8  molecular 
to  molecular.  The  graphs  shown  in  figure  6 indicate  the  effects  of 


12 


five  pure  salts  on  A.  sollicitans  and  A.  cantator  larvae  of  the  second 
moult.

FIG.  6. — Graphs  showing  the  toxic  effect  of  pure  salts  on  mosquito  larvae. 

In  the  graphs  shown  in  figure  6,  A.  sollicitans  occupies  the  left 
side  and  A.  cantator  the  right  side.  The  period  of  time  which  elapsed 
averages  a little  over  17  hours. 

Examining  the  record  for  A.  sollicitans,  we  note  that  CaCl'a  is 
apparently  the  most  toxic  salt,  with  MgClg  next  and  KC1  third.  It 


13

is  also  interesting  to  note  that  MgS04  is  a little  more  toxic  than 
Nad. 

In  the  case  of  A.  cantator,  CaClo  is  the  most  toxic.  KC1  and 
MgC  I2  are  almost  the  same  in  action  and  MgS04  again  surpasses 
NaCl  in  toxicity. 

But  if  we  reexamine  the  figures,  taking  the  molecular  weights 
and  considering  the  actual  grams  per  liter  of  each  salt,  we  find  that 
for  A.  sollicitans,  KC1  is  the  most  toxic  salt,  with  MgClo  and 
Cad 2 nearly  the  same  in  toxicity.  In  the  case  of  A.  cantator  KOI 
again  leads,  but  CaCl2  is  second  and  MgClo  is  third.  Table  I shows 
the  relative  amounts  of  the  salts  required  to  kill  and  the  species  differ- 
ences are  thus  indicated.

While  the  writer  is  fully  aware  that  these  experiments  are  too 
incomplete  to  warrant  generalization,  it  is  entirely  possible  that  the 
larva?  of  A.  cantator  and  A.  sollicitans  do  normally  live  in  media 
which  differ  with  respect  to  content  of  some  of  the  salts  of  sea  water. 
It  is  very  certain  that  they  live  in  water  of  salinities  which  arc 
different,  A.  sollicitans  occupying  water  of  a higher  salinity  than  A. 
cantator.  If  we  are  to  believe  Joseph  and  Meltzer  (4),  we  must 
conclude  that  the  reason  CaCL  is  more  toxic  for  A.  cantator  than  it 
is  for  A.  sollicitans  is  that  normally  the  environment  of  A.  cantator 
does  not  furnish  it  with  as  much  Cad  2 as  the  other  species  under 
consideration.  Joseph  and  Meltzer  (4)  state  their  law  as  follows — 
“The  toxicity  of  magnesium,  calcium,  potassium  and  sodium  to  the 
entire  animal  is  in  inverse  proportion  to  the  amounts  in  which  they 
are  present  in  the  serum  of  that  animal.  The  smaller  the  amount 
of  the  ion  in  the  serum,  the  more  toxic  it  is  in  the  infusion.”  The 
writer  anticipates  rather  extensive  series  of  experiments  with  the 
larva?  of  the  New  Jersey  mosquito  to  test  toxicities  of  the  inorganic 
salts  further. 

It  would  be  strange  if  in  the  course  of  the  extensive  studies 
carried  on  all  over  the  world  in  connection  with  the  problem  of  mos- 
quito extermination,  some  work  had  not  been  done  on  the  effect  of 
salts  on  development.  Let  us  examine  a few  of  the  more  important 
contributions.

A number  of  years  ago  a successful  attempt  was  made  to  take 
advantage  of  the  fact  that  the  house  mosquito  and  the  malarial  mos- 
quito are  both  fresh-water  species.  The  experiment  is  described  by 
Howard  (2)  in  his  little  book  “Mosquitoes”  published  in  New  York 
in  1911.  At  Virginia  Beach,  near  Norfolk,  Va.,  was  a large  fresh- 
water lake,  which  “with  its  adjoining  swamp,  was  a source  of  mos- 
quito supply,  and  it  was  feared  (although  this  was  before  the  mos- 
suito  dissemination  of  malaria  was  proven)  that  it  made  the  neigh- 
borhood malarious.”  The  result  of  cutting  canals  which  connected 
the  lake  with  the  salt  water,  was  the  change  of  the  waters  to  salt 
instead  of  fresh  water  and  the  complete  disappearance  of  mosquitoes. 

Tn  discussing  the  control  of  domestic  mosquitoes,  Howard,  Dyar 
and  Knab  (3)  cite  an  attempt  made  in  1905  in  New  Orleans  to 
destroy  mosquito  larvas  in  the  open  gutters  by  the  use  of  common  salt. 

The  work  gave  fine  results  where  properly  done,  but  the  influx 
of  numerous  adults  of  A.  sollicitans  from  the  salt  marshes  near  by 
caused  the  citizens  to  protest  against  the  salting,  claiming  that  the 
sanitary  officials  were  bringing  about  suitable  breeding  conditions  for 
sollicitans. 

Tn  considering  the  means  of  control  of  the  mosquitoes,  Dr.  W.  M. 
Graham  (1)  pointed  out  that  the  destruction  of  the  mosquito  may 
he  effected  by  methods  which  destroy  the  larvae  or  by  methods  which 
destroy  the  food  of  the  larvae.  Doctor  Graham  made  experiments 
which  showed  that  the  larvae  of  Pyretophorus  costalis,  breeding  in 
water  rendered  partially  opaque  by  suspended  matter  and  containing 
motile  algae,  will  become  cannibalistic  if  the  suspended  matter  is  pre- 
cipitated by  the  addition  of  3 per  cent  common  salt.  He  also  pointed 
out  that  the  growth  of  very  young  larvae  is  inhibited  by  concentrations 
less  than  3 per  cent,  while  fully  grown  larvae  are  apparently  accel- 
erated in  their  development  by  hypertonic  solutions. 

Tn  order  to  determine  to  what  extent  the  action  of  salt  on  mos- 
quito larvae  is  due  to  the  hypertonicity  of  the  solution,  and  to  what 
extent  to  the  destruction  of  the  food  supply  was  the  problem  which 
engaged  the  attention  of  Doctor  J.  W.  Scott  MacFie  (5). 

Larvae  of  Aecles  calopus  (Stegomyia  fasciata)  were  used  in  the 
experiments.  They  were  found  to  occur  in  water  of  salinities  ranging 
from  0.005  per  cent  NaCl  to  0.019  per  cent  NaCl,  the  average  of 
six  determinations  being  0.012  per  cent  NaCl.  In  the  first  experi- 
ment 10  mature  larvae  were  placed  in  each  of  6 jars  containing,  re- 
spectively, 0.5  per  cent,  1 per  cent,  2 per  cent,  3 per  cent,  4 per  cent 
and  5 per  cent  NaCl  solutions  in  clear  water.  Thus  the  factor  of 
precipitation  was  excluded.  In  5 per  cent  NaCl  all  larvae  died  within 
2 hours,  in  4 per  cent  all  had  died  within  3 days;  in  1 per  cent 
during  the  ten  days  through  which  the  experiment  was  continued, 
4 larvae  died,  4 pupated  and  hatched,  and  1 remained  alive  at  the 
conclusion  of  the  experiments. 

Tn  the  second  experiment  more  dilute  solutions  of  salt  were  used. 
The  salinity  of  the  natural  medium  was  increased  by  adding  salt, 


15 


and  jars  were  prepared  containing  0.10  per  cent,  0.15  per  cent,  0.20 
per  cent,  0.25  per  cent  and  0.30  per  cent.  Larvae  were  also  placed 
in  a solution  of  0.32  per  cent  NaCI  in  pure  water.  At  the  end  of 
0 days  all  larvae  had  died,  pupated  or  hatched.  The  author  concludes 
that  the  very  .young  larvae  are  more  adaptable  to  change  in  concen- 
tration of  their  medium. 

In  the  0.30  per  cent  solution  11  out  of  20  of  the  larvae  died  as 
lame,  while  in  the  0.10  per  cent  solution  none  of  the  larvae  died  as 
larvae.  By  way  of  criticism  it  might  be  stated  that  the  writer  has 
found  that  after  the  first  day  in  such  solutions  starvation  may  induce 
cannibalistic  activities,  and  thus  vitiate  the  results. 

We  may  close  discussion*  of  the  literature  bv  brief  mention  of 
the  work  of  the  Brazilian  investigators  reviewed  by  Howard,  Dyar  and 
Knab  (3).  The  Brazilian  workers  tried  numerous  experiments  with 
mixtures  of  sea  water  which  indicated  that  the  larvae  of  A.  calopus 
will  develop  in  water  containing  40  per  cent  sea  water.  They  ex- 
perimented with  NaCI  and  discovered  that  larvae  would  not  withstand 
solutions  stronger  than  1 per  cent. 

Conclusions 

Since  field  records  and  laboratory  experiments  closely  agree  we 
may  conclude  that  the  distribution  of  the  two  dominant  species  of 
salt-marsh  mosquitoes  in  the  State  of  New  Jersey  is  in  part  dependent 
on  the  salinity  of  the  water.  The  fresher  waters  seem  to  bring  out 
the  brown  salt-marsh  mosquito,  A.  cantator,  while  the  marsh  pools 
with  slightly  higher  salinity  seem  to  be  most  favorable  for  the  de- 
velopment of  A.  sollicitans. 

As  a means  of  control  of  the  salt-marsh  mosquitoes,  aside  from 
its  value  in  bringing  fish  to  the  pools,  the  plan  of  ditching  is  bound 
to  l)c  of  the  utmost  importance.  It  provides  a means  of  quickly 
draining  some  areas,  and  brings  the  salt  water  to  increase  the  salinity 
of  permanent  pools,  rendering  them  salt  enough  in  some  cases  to 
retard  and  in  some  cases  completely  to  check  the  development  of  the 
mosquitoes.  Another  reason  for  the  action  of  the  water  aside  from 
its  salinity  seems  quite  plausible  to  the  writer.  This  is  the  possi- 
bility that  the  incoming  tide  may  drown  the  mosquito  larvae  by  the 
rise  and  fall  of  its  waves  as  they  advance.  It  seems  to  the  writer 
that  this  .may  be  the  “line  of  battle”  which  is  even  more  effective  at 
high  tide  than  the  fish  or  the  effect  of  salinity. 

We  may  conclude  in  any  case  that  the  greatest  factor  in  the 
appearance  of  A.  cantator  at  an  early  date  in  the  season  and  its  pre- 
dominance over  certain  upland  regions  of  the  State  of  New  Jersey  is 
dependent  on  the  low  salinity  of  the  water;  while  the  appearance 
of  A.  sollicitans  at  a later  date  and  its  existence  on  the  comparativelv 
low  marshes,  is  dependent  on  its  apparent  need  for  a relatively  high 
degree  of  salinity  to  favor  its  development.  Tn  the.  case  of  anv 
of  the  species  of  salt-marsh  mosquitoes,  it  is  quite  possible  to  kill 
the  very  young  larvae  by  the  use  of  water  of  the  salinity  of  the  sea. 


16 


The  possibility  of  thus  eliminating  many  of  the  mosquitoes  which 

breed  in  marshy  land  appears  to  be  great  and  the  steps  already  taken 

in  this  state  are  shown  to  be  the  best.

A BIOLOGICAL  STUDY  OF  THE  MOKE  IMPORTANT  OF 
THE  FISH  ENEMIES  OF  THE  SALT-MARSH 
MOSQUITOES  l

Introduction 

The  mosquito  has  a long  list  of  natural  enemies  and  if  the  exact 
standing  of  each  were  well  understood  it  is  possible  that  some  of  the 
more  important  might  he  artificially  encouraged  to  a point  where 
their  warfare  on  the  mosquito  would  prove  the  most  efficient  factor 
in  its  satisfactory  control.  With  this  in  mind  the  writer  was  invited 
to  examine  the  possibilities  of  certain  fishes  already  known  as  mos 
quito  destroyers.  The  study  was  begTin  September  19,  1914  and 
continued  for  a little  over  one  year. 

The  study  consisted  of  making  collections  of  fishes  throughout 
the  year  with  records  of  tides,  salinity,  specific  gravity  and  tempera- 
ture of  the  waters  in  which  they  were  taken ; a study  of  the  stomachs 
of  samples  from  the  collections ; experiments  on  the  resistance  of  the 
fishes  to  high  concentrations  of  salts;  experiments  on  the  effect  of 
highly  concentrated  sea  water  on  the  development  of  the  embryos; 
and  many  feeding  experiments,  using  mosquito  larvae,  Dytiscus. 
daphnids  and  other  known  food  of  the  killifishes.  These  experiments 
were  supplements  by  other  experiments  on  the  importance  of  the 
water  tiger  ( Dytiscus ) and  the  tadpoles  of  several  species  of  frogs 
as  mosquito  larvae  exterminators.  The  last  named  group  of  experi- 
ments will  be  elsewhere  discussed. 

Enemies  of  the  Mosquito 

In  outlining  the  problem,'  it  Avas  found  desirable  to  prepare  a 
list  of  the  animals  recognized  as  foes  of  the  mosquitoes,  and  with

the  idea  that  it  may  be  used  in  later  studies  of  this  sort,  it  is  pre- 
sented with  this  paper.  The  list  is  compiled  from  many  sources,

Fishes  Known  To  Eat  Salt-Marsh  Mosquitos 

No  writer  on  the  subject  of  the  relation  of  fishes  to  the  mos- 
quito problem  can  pass  lightly  over  the  magnificent  work  done  by 
Mr.  William  P.  Seal  (10)  of  Delair,  New  Jersey,  who  for  years  has 
been  known  as  an  authority  on  the  subject.  Independently  and  later 
as  fish  expert  to  Dr.  J.  B.  Smith,  Mr.  Seal  showed  the  importance 
of  utilizing  the  fish  as  one  of  the  most  important  groups  preying  on 
the  mosquitoes.  In  Dr.  Smith’s  report  (13)  and  in  later  papers 
Mr.  Seal  (10,  11)  has  pointed  out  clearly  that  on  the  salt  marshes, 
Fundulus  heteroclitus,  Fundulus  diaplianus,  Cyprinodon  variegatus 


5 


and  Gambusia  affinis  are  all  extremely  important  enemies  of  the 
mosquito  larvae. 

As  the  writer  was  concerned  primarily  with  the  salt-marsh  mos- 
quito, his  problem  was  to  discover  what  species  of  fish  was  most 
effective  on  the  marshes,  both  ditched  and  unditched.  While  the 
work  herewith  recorded  is  largely  from  Middlesex  and  Monmouth 
Counties,  the  excellent  report  s}^stem  of  the  Entomologist  and  the 
willing  cooperation  of  the  many  chief  inspectors  and  inspectors  ex- 
tend the  records  throughout  the  entire  State. 

In  the  following  pages  we  shall  show  that  not  only  is  Fundulus 
heteroclitus  the  most  voracious  enemy  of  the  larvae,  pupae  and  adults 
of  the  mosquito,  but  that  on  account  of  the  migration  habits,  numbers 
and  supremacy  of  the  species,  it  is  the  most  important  natural  factor 
in  the  extermination  of  the  salt-marsh  mosquito.  It  is  worthy  of 
note  that  Funduls  heteroclitus  is  also  an  important  enemy  of  the 
green-headed  fly; 


Pools  and  Streams  under  Observation 


In  order  to  study  the  fish  closely  and  extend  the  period  of  ob- 
servation under  natural  salt-marsh  conditions,  a marsh  near  Bon- 
ham town,  New  Jersey,  and  about  three  miles  from  the  City  of  New 
Brunswick,  was  selected  as  the  chief  station  for  study.  Here  collec- 
tions were  made  at  intervals  from  September  19,  1914  to  August  15, 


1915.

During  three  weeks  of  June,  1915,  many  experiments  and  ob- 
servations were  made  at  the  Marine  Bioliogical  Station,  Woods  Hole, 
Massachusetts.  Some  of  the  problems  attacked  were  the  effect  of 
high  concentration  of  salts  on  the  viability  of  Fundulus ; the  effect  of 
highly  concentrated  sea  water  on  the  development  of  the  embryo  of 
Fundulus  heteroclitus ; the  water  tiger  as  food  for  Fundulus  heteroc- 
litus ; adaptation  of  Fundulus  diaphanus  to  salt)  water ; acclimization 
of  the  tadpole  to  salt  water;  habits  of  the  migrating  Fundulus ; and 
effect  of  varying  the  flow  of  water  on  the  activity  of  Fundulus  heter- 
oclitus. The  problems  named  will  be  further  discussed  in  later  pap- 
ers, but  the  most  important  facts  germane  to  the  present  discussion 
will  be  incorporated  in  the  pages  following  in  appropriate  places. 

It  is  a pleasure  to  acknowledge  the  kindness  of  Dr.  F.  R.  Lillie, 
Dr.  Gilman  A.  Drew  and  Mr.  George  Gray  of  the  Marine  Biological 
Laboratory  in  placing  at  my  disposal  the  laboratories  and  supplies  of 
their  institution.  The  excellent  library  was  of  great  help,  also. 

At  the  suggestion  of  Dr.  T.  J.  Headlee,  a trip  was  made  to 
Atlantic  County  early  in  July  to  investigate  the  conditions  in  virgin 
territory  undrained  by  human  agents.  Marsh  land  near  Beach 
Haven,  Tuckerton,  and  Atlantic  City  was  studied  and  the  dispersal 
of  fishes  noted.  The  Tuckerton  Creek  and  many  creeks  near  it  also 
were  studied. 

At  the  Bonhamtown  meadows  work  was  intensified  on  three 
permanent  pools,  additional  studies  being  made  of  conditions  in  many 
other  small  and  large  pools  and  on  the  activity  of  the  fishes  in  the 
ditches  and  along  the  shores. 

These  pools  were  surveyed  by  Mr.  R.  B.  Hiller,  an  engineering 
student  of  Rutgers  College,  and  were  sounded  at  intervals.  Collec- 
tions were  made  from  the  pools  and  from  ditches  and  larger  pools 
by  means  of  a 20-foot  minnow  seine  and  several  small  dip-nets.

Although  Fundulus  vvajalis  did  not  appear  on  the  Bonhamtown 
marshes,  the  species  is  fairly  well  distributed  along  the  New  Jersey 
coast,  running  in  and  out  with  the  tides,  confining  itself  to  the  salt 
and  brackish  water  and  not  migrating  into  the  shallows.  Because 
of  this  habit,  it  cannot  enter  largely  into  the  extermination  of  the 
salt-marsh  mosquito. 

Besides  the  fish  named,  Lucania  and  Menidia  were  collected  aft 
times  when  the  tides  were  especially  high.  Ampng  the  Arthropoda 
collected  from  the  pools  under  observation  were  Dytiscus  and  its 
larvae  the  water  tiger,  Crangon  vulgaris  and  Palaeomonetes  (shrimps) 
and  Notonecta.  Many  small  unidentified  myriapods  were  dug  up 


with  the  fish  when  collections  were  made  in  midwinter  from  the  mud 
in  the  bottoms  of  the  pools. 

Migration  in  Fishes 

Like  its  relative,  Fundulus  majalis,  Fundulus  heteroclitus  is 
most  normal  in  activity  in  moving  water.  Fundulus  majalis,  which 
moves  in  and  out  with  the  tides,  has  been  studied  by  Dr.  S.  0.  Mast, 
who  finds  that  it  is  not  only  prone  to  move  with  the  tides,  but  that 
when  the  outlet  to  the  ocean  is  plugged,  the  fish  will  convey  them- 
selves overland  by  flopping  in  the  general  direction  of  the  ocean. 
Mast  (5)  shows  that  the  fish  actually  keep  their  sense  of  direction 
in  the  overland  course.  He  concludes  that  the  fish  “apparently  re- 
member” the  location  of  the  outlet.  As  Mast  can  find  no  external 
features  which  seem  capable  of  guiding,  he  concludes  that  the  be- 
havior is  dependent  on  internal  factors. 

Fundulus  heteroclitus  migrates  to  the  shallowest  pools  of  the 
salt  marshes  and  travels  up  streams  past  the  salt  water  to  water  of 
a very  low  salinity.  When  it  is  land-locked  it  stays  throughout  the 
winter  in  the  mud  in  the  bottom  of  salt  marsh  pools.  It  is  significant 
that  Fundulus  heteroclitus  will  return  to  the  ocean  on  the  tides  in 
the  late  fall,  and  that  it  ceases  coming  to  the  marshes  when  the  water 
reaches  a temperature  of  about  45 °F. 

Records  made  with  the  salinometer  and  thermometer  from  No- 
vember, 1914,  to  August,  1915,  show  that  Fundulus  heteroclitus  react 
negatively  to  water  of  a low  salinity  when  the  temperature  is  below 
45  °F.  As  the  temperature  rises  and  the  marsh  pools  and  streams 
are  increased  in  salinity  by  the  incoming  high  tides  of  spring,  the 
fish  migrate  freely  and  stay  in  water  which  is  fresher  than  they  will 
tolerate  at  colder  temperatures. 

Permanent  unditched  pools  contained  killifishes  ( F . heteroclitus 
and  F.  diaphanus),  eels,  sheeps-head  minnows  ( Cyprinodon ) and 
shrimps,  throughout  the  entire  winter.  Field  records  of  the  three 
permanent  and  four  temporary  pools  observed,  showed  that  during 
November,  the  fishes  attempted  to  burrow  in  the  bottoms  as  the  tem- 
perature stood  between  43 °F.  and  47°F.  In  the  case  of  the  permanent 
pools  whose  bottoms  are  covered  with  soft  mud  and  finely  torn  eel 
grass  and  sedge,  the  fish  burrowed  down  to  a depth  of  6 or  8 inches 
and  many  remained  there  in  the  black  oozy  mud  at  a temperature 
ranging  from  40  °F.  to  as  high  as  45 °F.  On  sunny  days  some  of  the 
fishes  came  out  and  swam  around,  plainly  visible  under  the  ice  which 
was  sometimes  one-fourth  to  one-half  inch  thick  over  the  salt  pools. 

In  the  temporary  pools  where  the  bottoms  are  composed  of 
matted  and  hardened  grass  bound  together  with  clay,  the  fish  rapidly 
succumb  at  the  onset  of  cold  weather.  Specimens  with  whitened  fin- 
edges  secured  early  enough  in  the  morning  to  be  certain  that  the  sun’s 
rays  had  not  materially  changed  the  temperature  of  their  pools  were 


8 


found  to  be  feebly  endeavoring  to  burrow  into  the  mud.  The  water 
in  the  pools  from  which  these  dying  fish  were  taken  registered  43  °F. 
and  44° F.  Some  of  the  dying  fish  revived  when  brought  to  the 
laboratory  and  were  kept  for  several  weeks  before  being  preserved. 

While  temperature  apparently  explains  the  migration  inland  and 
the  subsequent  return  to  the  salt  water,  it  is  interesting  to  note  that 
during  a period  of  two  or  three  weeks  in  August,  during  the  past  sum- 
mer, the  fish  did  not  migrate  to  the  shallows.  This  condition  may 
not  be  in  evidence  every  year,  but  some  data,  indicate  that  it  is  the 
usual  thing.  Records  taken  by.  Mr.  F.  E.  Mehrhof  at  Bonhamton 
in  late  July  and  early  August  showed  that  the  killifish  were  very 
scarce  at  that  time.  Jlr.  Russel  Gies,  chief  inspector  of  the  Union 
County  Mosquito  Extermination  Commission  reported  that  during 
the  period  between  August  4 and  August  10,  the  fish  did  not  run 
into  the  ditches  and  could  not  be  attracted  into  them  by  meat  baits. 
While  the  meat  bait  probably  caused  acids  of  decay  which  would 
drive  the  fishes  away,  the  fact  that  there  was  no  migration  for  at 
least  a week  seems  important.  Records  from  other  inspectors  through- 
out the  State  showed  that  there  is  apparently  a period  of  about  two 
weeks  in  August  marked  by  almost  complete  absence  of  the  actively 
feeding  killifishes  from  the  marshes. 

Among  the  explanations  which  occur  to  me  the  following  im- 
portant ones  will  he  further  discussed  elsewhere.  First,  the  tempera- 
ture of  the  water  may  be  sufficiently  high  to  reverse  the  reaction  of 
the  fish  to  fresh  water  and  cause  it  to  return  to  salt;  second,  the 
exhaustion  subsequent  to  spawning  may  cause  the  fish  to  hesitate 
about  wandering  with  the  tides;  third,  appetite  may  be  satisfied  in 
the  case  of  a large  body  of  fish  which  have  been  living  in  brackish 
water  and  which  begin  to  return  to  the  salt,  to  be  replaced  by  others 
which  have  not  been  far  inland.  These  points  will  be  taken  up  in 
detail  on  page  10. 

Some  of  the  finest  experimental  work  on  fishes  has  been  done 
by  Dr.  Victor  E.  Shelford  (12)  of  the  University  of  Illinois  and  his 
students,  Dr.  W.  C.  Allee  and  Dr.  M.  M.  Wells.  Much  of  the  dis- 
cussion on  migration  to  follow  is  based  on  their  findings. 

Shelford  and  Powers  have  shown  (12)  that  herring  are  sensi- 
tive to  temperature  differences  as  small  as  0.2 °C. 

Johnstone  (4)  has  shown  that  the  migration  of  herring  in  Eur- 
ope is  closely  associated  with  the  salinity  and  temperature  of  the  sea. 

Shelford  and  Powers  (12)  have  shown  that  alkalinity  and  aeiditv 
are  more  important  than  salinity.  The  herring  and  salmon  experi- 
mented with  reacted  to  small  fractions  of  a cubic  centimeter  per 
liter  of  II2S  and  became  negative  to  sea  water  which  was  slightly 
more  acid  than  the  fresh. 

Wells  (16,  17,  18,  19)  takes  issue  with  Marsh  who  claims  that 
“water  which  will  support  life  must  be  slightly  alkaline.”  Wells 
claims  (18,  19)  that  the  water  which  seemed  slightly  alkaline  when 


9 


methyl  orange  was  used  as  an  indicator,  was  probably  acid  to  phen- 
olphthalein. 

Wells  shows  that  fresh-water  fishes  recognize  and  react  to  the 
presence  of  salts  in  solution,  the  reaction  being  such  as  will  bring 
them  into  their  optimum  salt  concentration.  From  his  own  and 
from  Shelf ord’s  work  on  the  salt-water  fishes,  Wells  concludes  that 
fresh  water  and  probably  salt  water  fishes  are  not  so  sensitive  to 
salt  ions  as  they  are  to  hydrogen  and  hydroxyl  ions.  He  also  shows 
that  starvation  causes  some  fishes  to  select  higher  concentrations  of 
salts  than  those  normally  selected,  while  the  reverse  is  true  of  other 
species  of  fish. 

Roule  (9)  believes  that  salmon  migrate  to  a richer  supply  of 
oxygen. 

Life  History  of  Fundijlus  Heteroclitus 

Fundulus  heteroclitus  is  “the  killifish  of  Schopff,  the  yellow- 
bellied  and  the  white  bellied  killifish  of  Mitchill  and  the  big  killifish 
and  barred  killifish  of  I)e  Kay.  The  Indian  name  hnummichog’  is 
applied  to  this  as  well  as  other  species  and  some  persons  call  it  the 
salt  water  minnow.  It  is  also  called  the  mud-fish,  cobbler  and  pike 
minnow.”  [Bean  (1)  ]. 

The  killifishes  are  characterized  by  banded  markings,  rounded 
fins,  a very  convex  tail  fin,  short  head,  obtuse  snout,  space  between 
the  eyes  very  flat,  lower  jaw  projecting,  and  a length  of  not  more 
than  6 or  7 inches. 

The  male  reaches  a length  of  about  5 inches  and  is  easily  dis- 
tinguished at  all  ages  and  in  all  seasons  by  the  presence  of  a number 
of  transversely  arranged  silver  bars  on  the  sides  and  a yellow  or 
orange  colored  belly.  The  ground  work  of  the  body  is  dark  green, 
and  in  mature  specimens  at  the  breeding  season  there  are  numerous 
white  and  pale  yellow  spots  of  color  on  the  sides.  The  dorsal  fin 
of  the  male  bears  a dark  spot  at  the  base  of  the  last  rays ; in  the  young 
male  this  dark  spot  is  subdivided  into  two  blotches.  The  vas  deferens 
extends  to  the  anal  fin  or  even  a little  way  along  the  anterior  ray. 

The  young  female  has  dark  bands  like  the  silver  bands  of  the 
male,  and  during  the  spawning  season  some  older  females  show  tht 
dark  bands  against  their  olive  ground  color.  The  majority  of  the 
older  females,  however,  rarely  show  the  transverse  bands.  The  ovi- 
duct extends  along  the  anterior  ray  of  the  anal  fin  about  two-thirds 
its  distance. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  killifishes  have  the  power  of 
changing  their  color  rapidly  to  agree  with  their  background.  This 
serves  them  well  in  escaping  the  notice  of  some  of  their  enemies, 
as  well  as  enabling  them  more  readily  to  approach  their  living  food. 

In  New  Jersey  in  the  vicinity  of  New  Brunswick,  the  spring 
migration  begins  as  early  as  the  latter  part  of  March  and 'gravid 
females  were  found  as  early  as  April  19,  1915.  The  spawning  season 


10 


for  older  fish,  reaches  its  height  during  the  latter  part  of  May  in 
this  latitude.  After  spawning,  the  fish  do  not  seem  active  for  a 
time  and  as  previously  indicated,  we  find  that  migration  far  inland 
ceases  almost  entirely  in  New  Jersey  during  about  two  weeks  in 
August. 

When  we  consider  that  there  are  at  least  three  kinds  of  fish 
of  the  same  species  coming  in  with  the  tides  toward  the  fresher 
waters,  it  is  easy  to  explain  on  theoretical  grounds,  at  least,  such 
a condition  as  has  been  mentioned. 

In  the  very  early  spring  we  have  the  larger  males  and  females 
which  will  spawn  in  a week  or  two;  a large  number  of  medium- 
sized  fish  which  come  in  to  feed  but  which  will  not  spawn  for  a 
month  at  least;  and  lastly,  the  yearlings,  which  will  not  spawn  until 
late  in  August  or,  if  of  the  late  brood  of  the  previous  year,  probably 
not  until  the  next  summer.  Knowing  that  after  each  fish  is  com- 
pletely spent  of  its  genital  products  there  must  be  a period  of  com- 
parative sluggishness,  we  find  that  the  absence  of  the  larger  fishes 
from  the  marshes  in  August  is  readily  explained;  this  also  explains 
the  relatively  few  medium-sized  fish  on  the  marshes  in  August.  The 
fact  that  even  the  smaller  fish  do  not  appear  in  any  great  numbers 
in  the  middle  of  August,  leads  one  to  believe  that  another  factor 
enters  into  the  matter. 

This  factor,  the  writer  believes,  is  that  of  warmth.  The  fish 
which  reacted  positively  to  the  fresher  water  as  the  temperature  in- 
creased inland  in  the  spring,  may  have  reacted  to  the  lower  salinities 
on  the  marshes  more  readily  when  in  a state  of  starvation.  In  the 
middle  of  August  there  are  three  conditions  which  might  influence 
the  return:  first,  the  higher  temperature  which  might  reverse  the 
reaction  to  fresher  water;  second,  the  condition  of  sluggishness  fol- 
lowing spawning  and  inhibiting  any  battle  with  tides;  and  last,  the 
fact  that  the  animals  are  well  fed  and  hence  in  a conditon  to  return 
to  their  abode  for  the  winter. 

Early  in  September  large  numbers  of  Fundulus  heteroclitus  reL 
turn  to  the  marshes  with  the  tides,  and  they  continue  to  run  in  and 
out,  staying  for  shorter  and  shorter  periods  as  the  cold  increases  in 
the  fresher  streams,  until  finally  they  cease  running  until  the  follow- 
ing spring. 

The  mating  habits  of  Fundulus  heteroclitus  have  been  very  well 
described  by  H.  H.  Newman  (6)  in  the  Biological  Bulletin  for  1907. 

The  presence  of  males  and  females  in  aquaria  together  is  known 
to  be  sufficient  to  cause  the  females  to  spawn.  If  a male  is  not  pres- 
ent, when  a gravid  female  is  too  much  distended  with  eggs  she  will 
assume  a peculiar  S shape,  and  vibrating  her  tail,  will  extrude  some 
of  her  eggs.  If  a male  is  present,  he  will  usually  seek  out  and  corner 
a female  about  ready  to  spawn  and  lock  his  dorsal  and  anal  fins 
against  hers.  Then  follows  the  simultaneous  extrusion  of  eggs  and 
sperm.

In  nature,  although  many  of  the  eggs  are  eaten  by  other  fish 
and  even  by  the  mother,  the  majority  of  them  sink  to  the  bottom 
in  mud  and  are  there  protected.  The  development  of  the  eggs  of 
Fundulus  depends  on  the  temperature  of  the  water,  but  is  about  three 
weeks  in  length. 

During  development,  the  hardy  eggs  of  Fundulus  heteroclitus 
may  be  subjected  to  almost  unbelievable  maltreatments  and  still  de- 
velop. They  will  develop  in  water  ranging  from  distilled  to  even 
as  high  as  40  per  cent  1 salt.  Placed  in  solutions  of  alcohol,  ether, 
chloretone  and  magnesium  chloride  in  sea  water,  many  develop  ab- 
normally, but  develop  to  hatching.  [Stockard  (14,  15)]. 

The  young  fish  hatches  with  a yolk  sac  which  rapidly  disappears, 
leaving  it  to  feed  on  minute  plankton.  By  the  following  spring  after 
hatching  a young  Fundulus  is  ready  to  eat  much  the  same  foods  as 
the  largest  of  its  kind. 

The  worst  enemy  of  the  killifish  is  probably  his  own  kind.  Many 
eggs  are  eaten  by  the  adults  of  the  same  species.  Among  the  fish 
known  to  eat  Fundulus  heteroclitus  are  the  striped  bass,  weakfish, 
smelt,  blue  fish  and  dogfish.  Sea  birds  and  even  domestic  ducks 
are  also  known  to  be  enemies  of  the  little  killifish.  [Bean  (1)  ]. 

Man  takes  advantage  of  the  fact  that  killifishes  are  easily  ob- 
tainable and  uses  quantities  of  them  as  bait  for  other  larger  fish. 

Food  of  the  Killifishes 

The  very  young  Fundulus  of  a little  less  than  a year  can  eat  as 
many  as  six  pupae  of  the  mosquito  in  half  an  hour  and  survive  the 
meal.  In  an  experiment  performed  purely  as  an  extra,  I placed  a 
very  small  Fundidus  (1cm.)  in  a jar  with  six  pupae  of  Aedes  sollici- 
tans  Wlk.  which  were  at  least  half  its  length.  In  30  minutes  all  the 
pupae  were  eaten.  The  first  one  seized  was  eaten  in  about  6 minutes. 

Examinations  of  the  stomachs  of  adult  Funduli  showed  that  they 
eat  larvae,  pupae,  and  adults  of  all  the  salt-marsh  mosouitoes.  They 
also  eat  Dytiscus , Notonecta  and  many  Daphnids.  In  the  winter 
small  quantities  of  algal  matter  and  a few  small  shrimps  constitute 
the  most  of  the  food  of  the  active  individuals.  In  the  early  fall,  the 
chief  food  besides  mosquitoes  seems  to  be  insect  and  snail  eggs  and 
occasionally  a few  fish  eggs. 

Mr.  T.  C.  Kelson  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  informs  me

that  he  has  seen  Fundulus  lieteroclitus  jump  out  of  the  water  to 
catch  mosquitoes,  green-head  flies  and  Ephydra. 

Efficiency  of  Fundulus  Heteroclitus  as  a Mosquito 
Exterminator 

In  the  laboratory  many  experiments  were  performed  with  Fun- 
duli  of  all  ages  to  determine  how  many  mosquito  larvae  they  will 
take  at  one  meal.  Out  of  about  30  experiments,  the  average  number 
was  25.  After  eating  from  20  to  30  larvae,  a Fundulus  apparently 
needs  time  to  digest,  as  it  rarely  begins  eating  again  for  at  least  two 
hours. 

The  best  record  of  feeding  for  a medium-sized  Fundulus  was  15 
mosquito  larvae  of  the  second  moult  in  5 minutes. 

In  order  to  determine  the  capacity  of  killifishes  under  laboratory 
conditions,  when  fed  10  larvae  at  a time  during  a period  of  about  8 
hours  of  the  day,  experiments  were  performed  as  follows. 

Two  large  killifishes  (about  7 cm,  or  2.75  inches)  two  medium- 
sized killifishes,  (about  5 cm,  or  2 inches)  and  two  small  killifishes 
(about  3 cm,  or  1.20  inches)  were  selected  as  suitable  for  the  experi- 
ments. All  were  apparently  in  perfect  health  and  among  the  most 
vigorous  of  the  lot  collected  at  this  time.  Six  aquarium  jars,  each 
12  inches  in  diameter  and  4 inches  in  height  were  prepared  with  salt 
water  previously  boiled  and  diluted  to  6 per  cent  salt.  Into  each 
of  the  jars  a fish  was  placed  and  allowed  to  accustom  itself  to  its  sur- 
roundings for  a period  of  about  12  hours.  A mixture  of  mosquito 
larvae  of  the  species  Aedes  sollicitans  Wlk.,  Aedes  cantator  Coq.  and 
Culex  salinarius  was  carefully  sorted  into  larvae  of  approximately  the 
same  age  and  size,  and  held  in  readiness  for  the  feeding  experiment. 

Beginning  on  the  fourth  of  August,  1915,  Mr.  F.  E.  Mehrhof 
began  feeding  the  larvae  to  the  fish,  continuing  his  experiment  for  a 
period  of  four  days.  The  plan  of  the  experiment  was  to  observe  the 
fish  at  intervals  of  30  minutes  and  supply  them  with  larvae  of  the 
second  moult  in  groups  of  10.  When  more  than  one  larva  was  left  in 
the  jar  the  fish  was  not  given  a new  lot  of  10.  The  presence  of  larvae 
which  had  passed  through  the  body  of  the  fish  as  excrement  was  ig- 
nored. 

The  graphs  which  follow  show  the  average  consumption  of  each 
fish  for  the  period  of  four  days.

In  discussing  the  results  obtained  we  must  first  point  out  some  of 
the  most  apparent  errors  in  the  experiment.  The  experiment  was 
performed  during  the  hours  8 a.  m.  to  5 p.  m.  and  therefore  the 
night  life  of  the  fish  is  not  recorded.  It  is  probable  that  many  more 
larvae  would  have  been  eaten  had  they  been  given  to  the  fish  very 
early  in  the  morning.  Others  would  have  been  eaten  as  late  as  7 :00 
p.  m.  and  probably  some  would  have  been  eaten  in  the  darkness  of 
the  night.  Again  since  the  killifish  depends  almost  entirely  on  its 
visual  sense  in  locating  the  mosquito  larvae  and  since  the  specimens 
used  could  get  no  new  lot  of  10  larvae  until  all  but  one  larva,  dead 
or  alive,  was  eaten,  many  minutes  of  idleness  and  probably  hunger 
were  passed  over.  Lastly,  the  food  was  entirely  of  mosquito  larvae. 

Briefly  summarizing  the  results  of  the  experiments  we  may  say: 
that  first,  the  highest  record  of  daylight  consumption  for  the  period 
of  four  days  was  123  larvae;  other  fish  ate  more  but  did  not#  survive; 
second,  the  highest  record  of  daylight  consumption  of  larvae  for  three 
of  the  four  days  was  135,  and  then  the  fish  died;  third,  the  total 
number  of  larvae  consumed  during  four  days  and  three  nights  by 
four  of  the  fish  which  survived  was  600.;  the  total  number  consumed 
by  these  same  fish  for  the  daylight  hours  only  was  451 ; fourth,  the 
greatest  number  of  larvae  eaten  in  one  day  was  70,  but  two  of  the 
fish  made  this  record  and  one  of  them  ate  but  20  larvae  the  following 
day  and  then  died;  fifth,  the  two  largest  fish  were  the  only  ones 
which  survived  the  whole  period  of  four  days  and  seemed  ready  for 
more  food  at  the  end  of  the  experiment.  The  average  consumption 
of  the  two  survivors  per  day  for  the  period  of  four  days  was  35 
larvas  per  dav  each.  The  average  daylight  consumption  for  that 
time  was  27.25  larva?  each. 

It  is  obvious  that  experiments  performed  on  such  a small  number 
of  fish  for  such  a short  period  of  time  prove  little.  They  do  show, 
however,  that  the  capacity  of  medium-sized  killifishes  of  the  species 
Fundulus  heteroclitus  is  enough  to  make  it  a formidable  enemy  of 
the  mosquito  larvae. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  Fundulus  heteroclitus  not  only  will 
eat  larvae,  pupae,  and  the  shells  of  the  same,  but  that  it  will  eat 
these  over  and  over  again,  when  hard  pressed  by  hunger. 

Tn  order  to  test  the  activity  of  Fundulus  heteroclitus  as  an  enemy 
of  the  water  tiger,  larva  of  Hytiscus,  I performed  numerous  experi- 
ments at  Woods  Hole,  Mass.,  using  medium-sized  killifish  and  rather 
large  water  tigers.  In  the  presence  of  mosquito  larvae  the  water 
tigers  were  not  eaten,  but  after  the  mosquito  larvae  had  been  cap- 
tured the  water  tigers  were  soon  devoured. 

As  Hr.  G.  H.  Parker  (7,  8)  has  shown  the  importance  of  the 
visual  sense  as  well  as  the  olfactory  sense  in  the  teleosts,  particularly 
Fundulus  heteroclitus,  experiments  on  the  attractiveness  of  larval 
shells  to  Fundulus  were  hardly  necessary.  It  seemed  wise,  however, 
to  make  a few  such  experiments. 


15 


Four  medium-sized  male  Funduli  were  placed  in  a jar  containing 
larval  shells  and  a few  mosquito  larvae.  The  larvae  were  seized  in- 
stantly, but  not  all  of  them  had  been  captured  before  the  voracious 
killifishes  seized  and  partly  devoured  larval  and  pupal  shells.  The 
larval  shells  were  spit  out  rather  forcibly  on  being  about  half  swallow- 
ed. The  spitting  reaction  was  not  limited  to  larval  and  pupal  shells, 
however.  In  many  of  my  experiments  with  killifish  placed  in  jars 
with  large  numbers  of  mosquito  larvae,  a sated  individual  would  act 
like  the  small  boy  at  Thanksgsiving,  and  seize  larvae  which  it  could 
not  stomach.  After  a few  such  “tries”  the  fish  sometimes  rest  and 
meditate  on  the  bottom  of  the  aquarium,  occasionally  seizing  a few 
other  larvae  and  swallowing  them.  From  our  experiments  there  is 
little  evidence  of  a selection  of  one  particular  species  of  mosquito 
larva.  The  selection  of  the  mosquito  larva  in  preference  to  water 
tigers,  Notoneda,  shrimps,  spiders,  daphnids  and  vegetable  food,,  is 
attributable,  I believe,  to  the  stimulus  of  the  extremely  active  mos- 
quito larva  to  the  visual  sense  of  the  fish.  The  fish  always  selected 
motile  larvae  in  preference  to  dead  or  quiescent  ones;  the}^  chose  the 
larvae  as  they  came  to  the  surface  to  breathe  or  seized  them  as  they 
were  sinking.  While  it  is  true  that  the  fish  also  ate  dead  larvae  and 
those  which  were  quietly  resting  at  the  bottom  of  the  jar,  they  also 
seized  other  animals,  bits  of  alga,  in  fact  almost  anything  which 
appealed  to  the  eye.  The  olfactory  and  gustatory  senses  came  into 
play  in  the  rejection  of  unsuitable  or  distasteful  food. 

Smell,  I maintain,  is  a secondary  sense  in  the  capture  of  mosquito 
larvae  b}^  the  killifish,  Fundulus  heteroditus. 

Conclusions 

The  greatest  natural  enemy  of  the  salt-marsh  mosquito  is  the 
barred  killifish,  Fundulus  heteroditus.  It  also  eats  many  green-head 
flies. 

Fundulus  heteroditus  captures  larvae,  pupae  and  adults  of  the 
mosquito,  eating  as  many  as  50  a day  and  killing  many  more. 

The  vast  hordes  of  fishes  which  migrate  to  the  shallows  and  even 
into  almost  fresh  water  render  the  species  especially  formidable. 

The  number  of  enemies  of  the  mosquito  which  are  eaten  by 
Fundulus  heteroditus  is  negligible  and  is  more  than  compensated 
for  by  the  great  preponderance  of  mosquitoes  in  the  diet  of  the  fish. 

The  ease  with  which  Fundulus  may  be  artificially  fertilized  and 
the  remarkable  vigor  and  resistance  of  the  young  embryos  make  the 
stocking  of  pools  and  streams  with  this  species  a simple  matter.

The  law  of  New  Jersey  entitled  “An  Act  to  Regulate  the  Sale  of 
Insecticides,”  Chapter  89,  Session  1912,  requires  an  annual  inspec- 
tion of  the  insecticides  sold  in  this  state.  In  accordance  with  this 
requirement  the  inspection  for  the  year  1916  was  made,  and  the 
results  obtained  are  herewith  presented.

INSPECTION 


It  is  our  practice,  when  collecting  samples  of  insecticides,  to 
secure,  if  possible,  the  materials  as  sold  in  original  packages  as  well 
as  samples  from  the  larger  shipments,  in  order  to  ascertain  the  com- 
position of  the  materials  when  sold  in  small  or  large  quantities. 

Eighty  samples  were  secured  by  one  of  our  regular  inspectors,  74 
of  which  were  examined  and  consisted  of : 


15  samples  of  Paris  green.

Section  4 of  the  law  states  that  a Paris  green  shall  be  deemed  to 
be  adulterated  if  it  does  not  contain  (1)  at  least  50  per  cent  of 
arsenious  oxide,  and  (2)  if  it  contains  arsenic  in  water-soluble  form 
equivalent  to  more  than  3.5  per  cent  arsenious  oxide. 

Fifteen  samples  of  Paris  green  were  examined,  six  of  which  were 
obtained  in  original  packages  and  the  remainder  represented  larger 
shipments.  All  of  the  samples  were  examined  for  the  content  of 
total  arsenious  oxide,  water-soluble  arsenic  compounds  and  copper 
oxide.  In  addition  to  the  chemical  examination,  the  samples  re- 
ceived in  original  packages  were  carefully  weighed  in  order  to 


Guarantee  not  stated. 


8 New  Jersey  Agricultural  Experiment  Station 

ascertain  the  net  weight  of  the  insecticide  delivered.  The  exact 
weights  as  found  are  tabulated  and  it  will  be  noted  that  in  five 
instances  the  net  weight  equalled  or  exceeded  the  weight  claimed. 
The  sixth  sample,  which  was  supposed  to  contain  4 ounces,  was  a 
fraction  short  of  the  weight  claimed. 

All  of  the  samples  contained  more  than  50  per  cent  of  total  arseni- 
ous  oxide  and  less  than  3.5  per  cent  of  water-soluble  arsenious 
oxide,  and,  consequently,  all  of  the  samples  satisfied  the  standard  as 
required  by  the  law.  Pure  Paris  green  contains  1.87  parts  of  ar- 
senious oxide  to  1 part  of  copper  oxide.  An  excess  of  white  arsenic 
would  cause  this  ratio  to  be  wider.  If  the  samples  are  judged  on 
this  basis,  Samples  16029,  16059  and  16062  evidently  contain  an 
excess  of  white  arsenic,  since  the  ratio  of  the  arsenious  oxide  to  the 
copper  oxide  as  found  is  1.93,  1.92  and  1.90  to  1.00,  respectively.

* Calculated  from  guarantee  given  in  terms  of  metallic  arsenic. 


Twenty-three  samples  of  lead  arsenate  were  examined,  10  of 
which  were  in  paste  form  and  the  remainder  were  dry  powders. 
Ten  samples  were  secured  in  original  packages  and  in  each  instance 
the  net  weight  of  the  materials  equalled  or  exceeded  the  weight 
claimed. 

In  accordance  with  the  standard  as  given  in  the  law,  a lead  arsen- 
ate would  be  deemed  adulterated  (1)  if  it  contains  more  than  50 
per  cent  of  water,  (2)  if  it  contains  less  than  12.5  per  cent  of  arsenic 
oxide,  and  (3)  if  it  contains  water-soluble  arsenic  compounds 
equivalent  to  more  than  0.75  per  cent  of  arsenic  oxide. 

The  records  show  that  all  of  the  samples  met  the  requirements  of 
the  law  in  regard  to  the  content  of  water  and  total  arsenic  oxide, 


10  New  Jersey  Agricultural  Experiment  Station 

and  all  of  the  samples  in  paste  form  were  satisfactory  in  regard  to- 
the  content  of  arsenic  in  water-soluble  forms.  Two  samples  of  the 
powdered  arsenate,  Nos.  16025  and  16055,  exceeded  the  maximum 
guarantees  given  for  the  water-soluble  arsenic. 

Particular  attention  is  called  to  Sample  16055.  It  will  be  noticed 
that  this  sample  contained  4.39  per  cent  of  water-soluble  arsenic 
oxide  and  3.41  per  cent  of  soluble  impurities  other  than  soluble 
arsenic  oxide.  This  brand  was  located  last  year  and  the  manufac- 
turers were  informed  in  regard  to  the  violation  of  the  law  if  they 
sold  such  a mixture  as  lead  arsenate.  From  the  correspondence  it 
was  assumed  that  the  product  had  been  withdrawn  until  Sample 
16055  was  received  from  a dealer  in  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.  The 
dealer  was  interviewed  and  he  stated  that  the  material  was  received 
this  year  and  was  not  stock  carried  over  from  last  year.  He  was 
notified  by  the  department  not  to  make  any  future  sales  of  the 
material. 

The  question  was  again  taken  up  with  the  manufacturer,  who 
gave  the  following  information : — “that  as  the  goods  were  manufac- 
tured previous  to  the  material  concerning  which  we  corresponded 
with  you  last  year,  we  find  upon  investigation  that  it  had  long  ago 
been  called  in.  By  this  we  mean  to  indicate  that  we  have  discon- 
tinued the  sale  of  an  article  of  this  character,  have  called  it  in  from 
where  we  knew  we  could  find  it,  and  have  set  it  aside  in  our  ware- 
house pending  remanufacture  or  other  disposition.” 

We  were  unable  to  locate  any  other  shipment  of  this  brand  and, 
consequently,  could  not  secure  any  additional  information  relating 
to  the  question.

RESULTS  OF  SEED  INSPECTION  1915-1916 

By 

John  P.  Helyar,  State  Seed  Analyst* 

During  the  past  two  years  more  attention  has  been  given  to  the 
vegetable  seeds  offered  in  bulk  in  the  New  Jersey  markets,  and 
inspection  or  official  samples  are  largely  from  this  class  of  seed. 
This  bulletin  is  intended  to  report  the  results  of  analyses  of  such 
official  samples  as  have  been  received  through  the  efforts  of  the 
Seed  Laboratory  during  this  period.  Owing  to  the  increasing  de- 
mand for  service  in  the  testing  of  unofficial  samples  it  has  been  im- 
possible to  devote  as  much  time  to  official  inspection,  though  the  re- 
sults reported  may  be  assumed  fairly  to  indicate  existing  conditions. 

ANALYSIS  OF  OFFICIAL  SAMPLES— 1915 
The  analyses  given  in  the  following  tables  represent  the  quality 
of  samples  collected  during  the  year  ending  October  31,  1915. 

* The  analyses  of  the  samples  herein  reported  were  made  in  part  by  Mr. 
Robert  Schmidt,  who  resigned  May  1,  1915,  by  Mr.  A.  C.  Foster  and  Mr.  H. 
E.  Carney,  who  resigned  January  1,  1916,  and  September  1,  1916,  respectively, 
and  also  by  Miss  Nevada  S.  Evans,  who  is  now  engaged  as  Assistant  Seed 
Analyst.

ANALYSIS  OF  OFFICIAL  SAMPLES-1916 
Except  for  crimson  clover  the  inspection  work  for  the  year  end- 
ing October  31,  1916,  was  devoted  to  the  securing  of  vegetable 
seeds  offered  in  bulk  lots  by  New  Jersey  dealers.  The  results  of 
the  laboratory  tests  of  these  samples  are  set  forth  in  the  following 
tables. 


Crimson  Clover  Seed  Investigations 
The  situation  with  respect  to  crimson  clover  seed  in  1916  was 
such  as  to  demand  particular  attention  from  the  Seed  Laboratory. 
Twenty-nine  samples  were  collected  and  analyzed  and  the  reports 
published  early  in  June  and  previous  to  the  time  of  general  pur- 
chase. A study  of  the  table  giving  results  of  germination  tests  will 
indicate  the  need  of  such  action.  These  29  samples  represent 
53,700  pounds  of  seed,  sufficient  to  sow  2685  acres,  if  sown  at  the 
rate  of  20  pounds  per  acre.  The  price  ranges  from  $6.00  to  $7.75 
per  bushel.  The  germination  tests  give  34  per  cent  as  the  lowest 
and  92.5  per  cent  as  the  highest.  The  following  gives  an  idea  of 
the  quantity  of  the  different  grades  of  .seed: 


13 


Bulletin  302 

Germination  30  to  40%  8,040  lbs. 

Germination  40  to  50%  9,240  lbs. 
Germination  50  to  60%  13,380  lbs. 
Germination  60  to  70%  3,960  lbs. 

Germination  70  to  80%  6,780  lbs. 

Germination  80  to  95%  7,635  lbs. 


It  is  also  apparent  that  no  relation  exists  between  quality  and 
price.  One  lot  priced  at  $7.50  per  bushel  has  a germination  of  44 
per  cent  and  another  priced  at  $6.00  per  bushel  has  a germination 
of  81.5  per  cent. 

While  these  samples  do  not  represent  all  of  the  seed  offered  or 
sold  to  New  Jersey  farmers,  yet  the  quantity  examined  seems  suf- 
ficient to  indicate  the  general  quality.  The  results  certainly  indi- 
cate that  purchase  should  be  made  with  knowledge  of  germination 
in  hand.

THE  NEW  SEED  LAW 

The  law  which  has  provided  the  funds  for  the  Seed  Laboratory 
during  the  past  four  years  has  been  superceded  by  a law  generally 
known  as  a label  law,  in  that  its  main  feature  is  the  requirement  of 
certain  labels  on  packages  of  seeds  indicating  the  quality  of  seed 
contained  therein.  The  full  text  of  this  law  is  given  in  Circular  59 
of  the  New  Jersey  Agricultural  Experiment  Station,  which  is  avail- 
able upon  request.  The  new  law  also  provides  for  free  test,  exami- 
nation and  analysis  of  seed  for  residents  of  the  state.  In  spite  of 
the  new  law,  individuals  should  use  the  same  precaution  in  the 
selection  and  purchase  of  agricultural  seeds  as  heretofore  advised. 
It  is  well  to  be  certain  as  to  what  the  statements  on  the  label  actually 
mean,  and  to  understand  just  how  far  they  can  be  used  in  judging 
of  quality.  Appearance,  vigor  of  sprouts,  and  trueness  of  variety 
or  strain  are  factors  which  greatly  affect  or  indicate  quality,  results 
and  profits. 

USE  THE  SEED  LABORATORY 

The  greater  part  of  the  seeds  represented  by  the  samples  listed 
in  the  foregoing  tables  will  have  been  sown  before  this  bulletin 
reaches  the  reader.  What  value  therefore  can  such  a publication 
have  to  those  who  have  bought  and  sown  these  or  other  seeds  not 
tested  by  the  Seed  Laboratory?  To  attempt  an  answer  to  this  is  to 
state  such  general  conclusions  as  may  be  drawn  from  the  foregoing 
reports  of  analyses. 

It  is  difficult  to  measure  the  value  of  an  agency  which  is  studying 
the  quality  of  seed  offered  for  sale  in  the  state  and  which  is  author- 
ized to  publish  its  findings.  It  is  not  possible  to  know  how  many  are 
influenced  by  the  possibilities  of  publication.  This  feature  is  a most 
potent  factor  in  the  Federal  investigations  of  adulterated  seed.  On 
the  other  hand,  publicity  also  serves  as  a desirable  advertising  fea- 
ture to  the  man  who  is  giving  quality. 

To  the  buyer  these  tables  of  analyses  furnish  proof  of  many  in- 
stances where  the  quality  of  the  seeds  was  such  that  purchase 
would  be  doubtful  were  the  facts  presented  with  the  seeds.  To  be 
in  a position  to  know  these  facts  about  quality  is  the  argument  for 
buying  seeds  by  samples  and  analysis.  Such  analysis  gives  one  cer- 
tain information  for  protection  and  guidance.  Some  dealers  will 
voluntarily  give  such  facts  to  their  customers.  They  are  required 
to  do  so  in  some  states. 


Bulletin  302

It  is  evident  that  the  Seed  Laboratory  acting  alone  as  an  investi- 
gating agent  can  exert  considerable  influence  but  cannot  be  most 
effective  unless  it  is  called  into  service  by  the  individual  farmer  or 
by  association  of  farmers  at  the  time  when  they  are  engaged  in  the 
business  of  buying  seed  for  the  season’s  crop.  Further,  the  Seed 
Laboratory  can  be  of  the  greatest  value  in  determining  the  quality 
of  seed  before  it  is  purchased  and  not  after  it  has  been  sown  and 
found . by  test  to  be  unfit  for  seeding  purposed.  Granted  that  the 
Seed  Laboratory  should  be  used  for  the  purposes  indicated,  direc- 
tions are  given  in  the  following  paragraphs  for  its  most  effective 
use. 

HOW  TO  USE  THE  SEED  LABORATORY 
The  Sample 

Of  prime  importance  is  the  sample  submitted  for  a test  of  any 
sort.  If  it  is  not  a fair  representation  of  the  entire  lot,  then  the 
value  of  the  analysis  is  decreased  or  lost  entirely.  It  is  necessary, 
then,  that  the  sample  be  taken  in  a proper  manner,  to  insure  that  the 
results  of  analysis  will  be  of  value  and  applicable  to  the  entire  lot 
of  seed. 

If  samples  of  prospective  purchase  are  secured  from  dealers, 
they  should  be  submitted  to  the  laboratory  unchanged  in  amount, 
for,  as  a rule,  they  are  none  too  large.  The  samples  are  preserved 
under  proper  conditions  in  the  Seed  Laboratory  so  that  they  are 
always  available  for  future  reference,  but  will  be  returned  to  the 
sender  after  analysis  is  made,  if  desired. 

If  the  seed  has  already  been  purchased  and  delivered,  then  there 
are  two  questions  concerning  the  sample : how  shall  it  be  taken,  and 
how  much  is  it  necessary  to  send  to  the  Seed  Laboratory. 

How  to  Take  the  Sample 

Small  lots  of  seeds  up  to  three  or  four  bushels  should  be  emptied 
upon  a smooth  surface  and  thoroughly  mixed  so  that  the  different 
elements  will  be  equally  distributed.  Small  portions  are  then  select- 
ed from  different  points  in  the  pile  to  make  up  the  sample  for  test- 
ing. 

If  larger  quantities  in  sacks  are  to  be  sampled,  some  form  of 
sampler  is  practically  necessary.  This  is  used  to  secure  small  sam- 
ples from  the  top,  middle  and  bottom  of  each  sack.  The  small  sam- 
ples should  be  thoroughly  mixed  together  and  then  a sample  for 
analysis  selected  by  taking  small  portions  from  different  parts  of 


22  New  Jersey  Agricultural  Experiment  Station 

this  mixture.  In  any  case  the  desired  result  is  to  get  a sample  that 
will  be  truly  representative  of  the  seed  and  which  cannot  be  obtain- 
ed by  taking  the  sample  from  one  place  without  previous  mixing  of 
the  seed,  because  of  the  tendency  of  the  seed  in  packages  to  separate 
into  certain  levels  according  to  the  amount  of  shaking  or  jarring 
they  are  subjected  to  in  transportation. 

The  Size  of  the  Sample 

Too  often  the  sample  received  is  so  small  that  a test  is  practically 
impossible  and  even  if  made,  the  results  are  of  little  value.  It  is 
urged  that  the  samples  sent  to  the  Seed  Laboratory  approximate  the 
following  weights  whenever  possible. 

Oz. 


Red  top,  timothy,  and  all  small  seeds  1 

Smaller  vegetable  seeds,  such  as  lettuce,  onion,  radish,  and 

turnips  1 

Clovers,  alfalfas  and  sorghums  2 

Larger  grass  seeds,  such  as  rye  grass,  brome  grass,  orchard 

grass  and  millets  2 

Larger  vegetable  seeds,  except  corn,  peas  and  beans 2 

Cereals,  vetches,  cowpeas,  corn,  peas,  beans,  and  all  large  seeds 
not  provided  for 4 


Sending  the  Samples 

Too,  often  the  samples  as  received  at  the  Seed  Laboratory  are  in 
an  undesirable  condition  due  to  lack  of  proper  attention  in  prepar- 
ing for  shipment.  Sometimes  when  two  or  more  samples  are  sent 
together,  the  greater  part  of  the  separate  samples  will  be  found 
mixed  together  in  the  box  or  envelope  in  which  they  were  sent.  All 
containers  should  be  properly  sealed  so  that  this  mixing  cannot  oc- 
cur. Small  boxes  or  strong  manila  envelopes  should  be  used.  The 
ordinary  light  envelop  used  for  correspondence  does  not  usually 
seal  tight  enough  to  prevent  leakage  and  should  not  be  used  where 
several  samples  are  sent  together  unless  the  precaution  is  taken  to 
paste  the  entire  flap  down  with  some  adhesive  material  as  paste  or 
mucilage. 

When  the  samples  are  finally  prepared  for  shipment,  they  should 
be  plainly  addressed  to  the  Seed  Laboratory  of  the  New  Jersey 
Agricultural  Experiment  Stations,  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.  The 
package  should  also  have  some  distinctive  mark  of  the  sender  so 
that  it  can  be  indentified  and  properly  recorded  when  received.  To 
complete  the  laboratory  records  of  the  samples,  it  is  desired  that  the 
following  information  accompany  the  samples  of  seed.

Other  remarks  

This  information  is  not  used  for  publication  nor  as  a basis  for 
action  against  any  person  or  firms  mentioned.  It  is  desirable  to 
have  these  facts  that  those  in  charge  of  the  Seed  Laboratory  may 
extend  their  knowledge  of  seed  trade  conditions  in  the  state.  Sup- 
plying this  information  is  only  a small  return  for  the  service  ren- 
dered and  will  materially  help  to  solve  the  problems  concerned. 

THE  WORK  OF  THE  SEED  LABORATORY 

The  Seed  Laboratory  is  prepared  to  undertake  the  following  work 
for  applicants : 

1.  Identification  of  crop  seeds  and  weed  seeds. 

2.  Identification  of  weed  plants. 

3.  Purity  test  for  all  agricultural  seeds. 

4.  Germination  test  for  all  agricultural  seeds. 

5.  Sulfur  test  for  oats  and  other  grains  which  may  be  suspected 
of  having  been  subjected  to  the  process  known  as  sulfuring. 

6.  To  supply  any  other  information  concerning  seeds  and  weeds 
that  can  possibly  be  given. 

Reports 

Samples  of  seeds  are  promptly  filed  and  receive  attention  in  the 
order  in  which  they  are  received.  As  a general  rule,  with  the 
present  facilities  and  the  present  demand  for  service,  reports  of 
purity  tests  can  be  returned  within  two  days  after  receiving  the 
sample.  The  germination  test  requires  a longer  period,  depending 
on  the  variety  of  seed.  For  most  seeds,  however,  the  time  limit  is 
from  a week  to  ten  days.  Some  of  the  grasses  require  from  three 
to  four  weeks’  time  before  a full  report  can  be  given. 

The  reports  are  made  on  special  blank  forms  and  include  the 
information  necessary  to  judge  the  quality  of  seed  with  respect 
to  purity  or  germination  or  both,  where  requested. 

Note. — The  seed  analyst  cannot  tell  from  the  appearance  of  seeds  whether 
or  not  they  are  true  to  varietal  name.  This  can  be  determined  only  by  plant- 
ing the  seed  and  examining  the  crop  therefrom.

ANALYSES  OF  COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS  AND 
GROUND  BONE; 

ANALYSES  OF  AGRICULTURAL  LIME 


By 

Charles  S.  Cathcart,  State  Chemist* 


A portion  of  the  results  obtained  during  the  inspection  for  1916 
was  published  in  Bulletin  297  and  the  remaining  analyses,  together 
with  a discussion  of  the  whole  inspection,  are  herewith  presented. 

AUTHORITY  FOR  MAKING  THE  INSPECTION 

The  inspection  of  the  fertilizers  sold  in  the  state  was  made  in 
accordance  with  the  law  entitled  “An  Act  Concerning  Fertilizers” 
which  was  approved  March  27,  1912.  The  principal  objects  of  this 
law  are:  (1)  the  protection  of  the  purchaser,  and  (2)  the  protection 
of  the  honest  manufacturer.  This  protection  is  secured  by  the  sev- 
eral requirements  as  enumerated  in  the  law  which,  briefly  stated, 
consists  of  the  following : 

1.  The  filing  of  a sworn  statement  is  required  showing  the  mini- 
mum percentage  of  each  element  of  plant-food  to  be  guaranteed  and, 
also,  that  the  guarantee  given  will  be  attached  to  each  package  of 
the  material  offered  for  sale.  The  form  to  be  used  is  prescribed  and 
no  additional  statements  are  permitted.  No  claim  or  guarantee  can 
be  made  for  less  than  0.82  per  cent  of  nitrogen,  equivalent  to  1 per 
cent  of  ammonia ; or  for  less  than  1 per  cent  of  phosphoric  acid,  or 

* The  analyses  were  made  by  Ralph  L.  Willis,  Frank  O.  Fitts,  Louis  J. 
Kleinfeld,  D.  James  Kay  and  Archie  C.  Wark.

for  less  than  1 per  cent  of  potash.  The  word  “bone”  cannot  be  used 
in  connection  with  a brand  name  unless  the  phosphoric  acid  con- 
tained shall  be  derived  from  pure  animal  bone.  As  an  additional 
protection  the  law  also  states  that  “a  brand  name  of  a mixed  fer- 
tilizer once  registered,  shall  not  be  changed  to  a lower  grade  at  any 
subsequent  registration.” 

2.  Tonnage  reports  are  required  to  be  rendered  and  an  inspection 
fee  paid  for  each  ton  sold  at  the  rate  of  15  cents  per  ton. 

3.  The  state  chemist,  or  his  deputy,  is  given  the  power  to  collect 
samples  of  fertilizers,  to  make  the  analyses  and  to  publish  the  results. 

4.  The  penalty  for  a violation  of  any  of  the  requirements  is  given. 

REGISTRATIONS 

Annual  registrations  are  required  to  be  submitted  on  November 
first,  but  a manufacturer  is  permitted  to  register  a new  brand  at 
any  time  during  the  year,  provided  that  this  requirement  is  com- 
plied with  before  the  material  is  actually  placed  on  the  market. 
Judging  from  the  information  received  during  the  inspections,  it  is 
quite  evident  that  some  of  the  manufacturers  do  not  at  all  times 
consider  the  question  of  registration  to  be  very  important,  and  as  a 
result  it  is  either  overlooked  until  their  attention  has  been  called  to 
the  omission,  or  it  is  entrusted  to  some  one  who  does  not  make  the 
record  which  will  exactly  correspond  to  the  statements  that  are 
attached  to  the  materials  as  sold.  In  order  that  a registration  may 
cover  a given  brand,  it  is  absolutely  necessary  that  the  statements  as 
registered  (and  this  includes  the  brand  names  as  well  as  the  guaran- 
tees) must  correspond  with  the  statements  attached  to  the  materials. 
If  the  two  statements  do  not  agree  in  every  particular,  it  must  be 
considered  that  the  brand  in  question  has  not  been  registered  as 
required. 

The  whole  question  of  registration,  since  it  is  one  of  the  require- 
ments of  the  law,  is  important,  and  each  manufacturer  or  person 
responsible,  for  a fertilizer  on  our  markets  should  make  arrange- 
ments so  that  the  registrations  may  not  only  be  made  at  the  time 
specified  but,  also,  when  they  are  made  that  the  information  given  is 
accurate. 

During  the  year,  131  firms  or  persons  registered  1493  brands,  111 
of  which  were  not  registered,  however,  until  the  brands  had  been 
located  by  our  inspectors.  The  unregistered  brands  that  were  col- 
lected represented  the  products  of  42  manufacturers  and  consisted 


Bulletin  303  7 

of  115  different  brands.  The  following  manufacturers  failed  to 
make  the  necessary  registrations  for  the  remaining  four  brands : 

E.  M.  Carman,  Englewood,  N.  J. 

L.  H.  Chambers,  Mt.  Holly,  N.  J. 

Vaughan  Seed  Store,  Chicago,  111. 

W.  Wilde,  Vineland,  N.  J. 

The  registrations  received  up  to  January  18,  1916,  were  published 
in  Bulletin  290.  The  registrations  received  since  that  date  are  pub- 
lished as  a part  of  this  report. 

Inasmuch  as  the  law  prescribes  the  form  of  guarantee  to  be  at- 
tached to  the  materials  sold,  it  is  necessary,  before  a brand  is  regis- 
tered, to  insist  that  the  application  blank  should  show  all  the  guar- 
antees required,  and  it  is  expected  to  find  the  registered  guarantees 
attached  to  the  materials.  A few  applications  have  been  received 
which  did  not  give  all  of  the  guarantees  required,  but  the  corrected 
applications  were  complete  and  with  a very  few  exceptions  the  full 
information  was  attached  to  the  material.  The  condition  has  been 
taken  up  with  the  parties  concerned  and  there  should  be  no  reason 
for  their  future  shipments  not  being  correctly  guaranteed. 

It  is  admitted  that  under  normal  conditions  the  manufacturers 
have  many  problems  to  solve  in  order  to  comply  with  the  laws  of 
the  various  states,  and  during  the  past  year  they  undoubtedly  have 
experienced  additional  difficulties  which  were  caused  by  the  scarcity 
of  some  of  the  materials  used  in  preparing  the  brands.  On  account 
of  one  of  the  requirements  of  the  law  of  this  state,  when  a manufac- 
turer could  not  supply  the  full  guarantee  previously  given  for  any 
brand,  it  was  necessary  to  adopt  a new  brand  name  for  the  mixture. 
The  scarcity  of  the  potash  compounds,  therefore,  compelled  the  man- 
ufacturers to  prepare  many  new  mixtures,  and  under  the  conditions 
one  would  have  expected  to  find  many  of  the  standard  brands  with 
the  guarantees  lowered.  This  condition,  however,  did  not  exist 
since  all  of  the  manufacturers,  with  but  a single  exception,  branded 
their  materials  in  accordance  with  the  requirements,  and  the  attitude 
which  they  have  taken  reflects  great  credit  upon  their  business 
methods. 

The  one  case  of  incorrect  branding  which  was  referred  to  could 
have  been  avoided  if  the  company  responsible  for  the  condition, 
Taylor  Provision  Co.,  Trenton,  N.  J.,  had  applied  for  registration  at 
the  required  time.  This  was  not  done,  however,  and  the  question 


8 New  Jersey  Agricultural  Experiment  Station 

was  not  taken  up  by  them  until  after  the  materials  had  been  sold 
and  sampled  by  our  inspector.  A full  explanation  was  given,  but 
since  the  entire  output  had  been  sold  an  adequate  adjustment  was 
difficult.  It  was  finally  agreed  that  each  purchaser  should  be  made 
to  understand  clearly  that  an  error  had  been  made  in  the  branding, 
and  that  in  the  future  the  registration  would  be  made  at  the  proper 
time. 


REPORTS  OF  TONNAGE 

In  accordance  with  the  law  and  also  with  the  certified  statements 
made  at  the  time  of  registering  the  brands  to  be  offered  for  sale, 
reports  on  the  tonnage  sold  are  required  to  be  rendered  on  April 
first  and  November  first  of  each  year.  We  have  had  no  reason  to 
question  any  of  the  reports  that  have  been  rendered  with  the  excep- 
tion of  the  April  report  of  this  year  which  was  submitted  by  the 
Standard  Guano  Co.,  Baltimore,  Md.  This  report  was  very  much 
smaller  than  their  known  sales  and  it  is  supposed  that  an  error  was 
made  when  the  report  was  prepared ; but  it  was  impossible  to  secure 
from  the  company  any  information  regarding  the  discrepancy.  After 
waiting  a suitable  time  the  party  purchasing  the  materials  from  this 
company  paid  the  required  inspection  fee. 

The  following  is  a summary  of  the  reports  received  during  the 
past  four  years :

RULES  AND  REGULATIONS 
The  law  provides  that  the  state  chemist  shall  have  authority  to 
establish  rules  and  regulations  in  regard  to  the  inspection,  analyses 
and  sale  of  fertilizers.  In  accordance  with  this  provision  the  fol- 
lowing rulings  have  been  made  : 

1.  Two  reports  are  required  annually,  and  the  dates  fixed  by  the 
law  are  April  first  and  November  first.  The  April  report  covers  the 
sales  from  November  first  to  April  first,  and  the  November  report 
covers  the  sales  from  April  first  to  November  first. 


Bulletin  303

2.  Whenever  a corporation,  firm  or  person  shall  have  filed  a 
statement  required  by  Section  2 of  the  law  and  shall  have  paid  the 
inspection  fee  as  required  by  Section  4 of  the  law,  no  other  agent, 
importer,  corporation,  firm  or  person  shall  be  required  to  pay  the 
inspection  fee  upon  such  brands. 

3.  All  corporations,  firms  or  persons  who  have  registered  the 
regular  brands  manufactured  by  them  and,  also,  the  fertilizer  mater- 
ials offered  for  sale  by  them,  can  furnish  mixtures,  commonly  known 
as  “special  mixtures”  or  “special  compounds,”  which  are  prepared 
for  immediate  delivery  and  in  accordance  with  a formula  submitted 
by  the  purchaser,  without  having  the  mixture  registered  before 
filling  the  order,  provided  the  following  procedure  is  adopted : 

(a)  A certified  statement  is  to  be  filed  with  the  state  chemist  that 
it  is  desired  to  make  “special  mixtures”  for  immediate  delivery  in 
accordance  with  formula  submitted  by  the  purchaser,  and  that  the 
tonnage  of  material  used  will  be  accounted  for  in  the  reports  that  are 
required  to  be  rendered. 

(b)  The  shipments  of  these  “special  mixtures”  during  the  fiscal 
year  are  to  be  numbered  consecutively,  a record  being  made  so  that 
the  formula  with  the  guaranteed  analysis  of  each  ingredient  used  or 
the  calculated  guarantee  of  the  mixture  can  be  furnished  the  state 
chemist  when  he  so  requests. 

(c)  The  shipments  are  to  be  in  plain  bags  with  tags  attached, 
giving  the  following  information  : 

Special  Mixture  No.  (5). 

Mixture  of  Registered  Ingredients  Prepared  for 
(John  Jones,  Salem,  N.  J.) 

Manufactured  by  (Smith  Fertilizer  Co.,  Camden,  N.  J.) 

4.  Reports  on  samples  which  are  found  to  satisfy  substantially  the 
guarantees  will  be  marked  “Official,”  and  are  submitted  to  the  con- 
sumer on  the  same  date  as  to  the  manufacturer.  When  analyses 
show  samples  to  be  deficient,  reports  are  submitted  to  manufacturers 
and  objections  to  the  report  or  requests  for  a portion  of  duplicate 
sample  must  be  made  within  10  days  from  the  date  of  report  in  order 
to  receive  consideration.  Should  a manufacturer’s  report  on  the 
official  sample  differ  from  our  report,  every  effort  will  be  made  to 
locate  the  cause,  but  only  those  results  that  can  be  duplicated  in  tins 
laboratory  by  the  use  of  the  methods  adopted  by  the  Association  of 
Official  Agricultural  Chemists  will  be  accepted  as  official.

THE  TRADE  VALUES  OF  THE  ESSENTIAL  ELEMENTS 
OF  PLANT-FOOD 

It  has  been  the  practice  for  the  Station  to  prepare  each  year  a 
schedule  of  trade-values  which  were  determined  by  the  use  of  the 
wholesale  quotations  as  published  weekly  in  the  Oil , Paint  & Drug 
Reporter  and  the  retail  quotations  which  have  been  received  by  con- 
sumers. A tabulation  of  the  various  quotations  was  prepared  this 
year  and  the  great  fluctuation  in  the  prices  noted.  Several  of  the 
larger  manufacturers  were  then  requested  to  give  us  confidentially 
the  prices  which  they  would  ask  for  their  materials.  The  result  of 
a careful  study  of  the  different  quotations  was  that  if  a schedule  of 
trade-values  were  made  by  the  method  in  use  during  the  past  years, 
the  calculated  valuations  of  mixed  goods  would  exceed  the  prices 
asked  by  the  manufacturers.  It  is  evident  that  such  valuations 
would  not  give  the  information  desired  and,  consequently,  under  the 
conditions  it  would  not  be  fair  to  either  manufacturer  or  consumer 
to  use  such  a schedule.  Although  this  was  the  conclusion  from  the 
information  at  hand,  a final  decision  was  deferred  until  additional 
information  had  been  obtained. 

In  the  early  part  of  March  the  annual  conference  of  the  directors 
and  chemists  of  the  experiment  stations  of  the  New  England  states 
and  New  Jersey  was  held.  The  question  of  valuations  was  very 
thoroughly  discussed,  and  it  was  the  unanimous  opinion  of  those 
present  that,  on  account  of  the  great  fluctuations  in  the  prices  of  the 
various  materials  used,  no  schedule  could  be  prepared  which  would 
fairly  represent  the  charges  to  be  made  during  the  season. 

On  account  of  this  condition  no  schedule  of  trade-values  has  been 
prepared  for  this  year  and  no  valuations  have  been  computed  either 
for  fertilizer  materials  or  for  mixed  fertilizers. 

THE  POTASH  SITUATION 

Many  inquiries  have  been  received  regarding  the  nature  and  value 
of  the  potash  products  that  are  being  prepared  in  the  West  from  the 
lakes  and  from  alunite.  We  have  not  had  opportunity  to  make  com- 
plete analyses  of  these  products,  but  from  the  information  received 
from  other  sources,  a unit  of  water-soluble  potash  in  these  materials 
has  the  same  commercial  and  agricultural  value  as  a unit  of  the 
same  element  in  the  German  salts.  Since  the  amount  of  potash  that 
is  available  from  these  sources  is  comparatively  limited  and,  also, 
since  there  is  no  prospect  at  this  time  to  receive  any  considerable 


Bulletin  303  11 

quantity  from  other  sources,  every  effort  should  be  made  to  conserve 
the  materials  which  contain  potash. 

INSPECTION  FOR  1916 

The  inspection  for  the  present  year  was  made  by  two  inspectors 
who  have  been  engaged  in  this  particular  kind  of  work  for  several 
years.  Every  county  in  the  state  was  visited  and  a total  of  1640 
samples  was  received  at  the  Station,  all  but  a small  percentage  of 
which  being  collected  by  the  official  inspectors.  As  usual,  the  sam- 
ples forwarded  by  individuals,  other  than  the  inspectors,  were 
analyzed  and  reported  to  the  parties  sending  the  same ; but  the  re- 
sults obtained  with  any  of  the  samples  of  mixed  materials  are  not 
included  in  the  tabulations. 

The  samples  received  represented  the  stock  of  561  dealers  and 
consumers  who  were  located  in  230  cities  or  towns. 

The  Selection  of  Samples  for  Examination 

The  samples  secured  by  our  official  samplers  generally  include 
many  duplicates  and  sometimes  a larger  multiple  of  the  various 
brands.  In  making  the  selection  of  the  sample  to  be  taken  for 
analysis,  when  more  than  one  sample  of  the  brand  has  been  received, 
it  is  our  practice  to  select  the  one  that  represented  the  largest  stock 
on  hand  at  the  time  of  sampling  and,  also,  when  possible  to  select 
the  samples  of  the  different  brands,  of  any  one  firm,  which  were 
taken  at  different  localities.  It  frequently  happens,  however,  that 
but  one  sample  of  the  brand  has  been  received,  and  in  such  cases 
there  is  no  opportunity  to  make  a selection.  When  a duplicate  sam- 
ple is  analyzed,  the  sample  taken  represents  the  stock  of  another 
dealer,  or  a sample  is  secured  which  represents  a different  shipment. 

Unofficial  samples  of  materials  that  are  sold  carrying  a guarantee 
are  seldom  analyzed  unless  there  is  a particular  reason  for  doing  so. 
Persons  desiring  analyses  of  any  samples  should  notify  the  state 
chemist,  giving  the  brand  name,  the  name  of  the  manufacturer  and 
the  number  of  tons  on  hand.  Upon  receipt  of  this  information,  if 
the  brand  has  not  been  recently  analyzed  and  the  tonnage  warrants 
it,  arrangements  will  be  made  to  send  an  inspector  to  secure  the 
sample  without  expense  to  the  person  making  the  request. 

There  are  two  classes  of  unofficial  samples,  however,  that  will  be 
examined,  i.  e.,  when  the  analysis  might  demonstrate  a possible  de- 
velopment of  waste  products  into  cheap  sources  of  plant-food,  or 


12

might  in  other  ways  be  of  general  interest.  In  either  case  sufficient 
information  concerning  the  sample  must  be  given  in  order  that  the 
analysis  may  be  of  service  to  the  general  public. 

The  samples  analyzed  consisted  of  the  following :

of  sundry  materials. 


1018  samples  total. 

The  analyses  of  the  above  samples  required  about  11,500  separate 
determinations. 


The  Chemical  Examination 

The  chemical  examinations  of  the  various  brands  of  fertilizers 
were  made  in  accordance  with  the  official  methods,  and  consisted  of 
determining  the  content  of  the  following : 

Nitrogen.  Nitrates,  ammonia  salts,  soluble  organic,  insoluble 
organic  (active  and  inactive),  and  total  nitrogen. 

Phosphoric  Acid.  Water-soluble,  ammonium-citrate-soluble,  in- 
soluble, total  and  available  phosphoric  acid. 

Potash.  Water-soluble  potash  and  whether  in  form  of  muriate 
or  sulphate. 

The  results  of  the  above  determinations  with  the  exception  of  the 
percentages  found  for  the  “active  insoluble’"  and  the  “inactive  insol- 
uble” organic  nitrogen  are  given  in  the  tabulations.  During  the  past 
few  years  the  tabulations  contained  the  results  of  all  of  the  determi- 
nations noted  above.  Statements  have  been  made,  however,  that 
the  various  results  as  tabulated  for  the  organic  nitrogen  are  confus- 
ing and  that  the  average  consumer  cannot,  or  at  least  does  not,  ascer- 
tain the  activity  of  this  constituent.  A knowledge  of  the  character 
or  activity  of  the  nitrogen  derived  from  organic  matter  is  very  im- 
portant, and  it  is  desired  that  the  information  given  in  the  bulletins 
should  be  stated  in  such  a form  that  would  clearly  show  the  value 
of  the  material.  In  order  to  make  the  report  as  helpful  as  possible, 
the  form  of  tabulating  the  results  relating  to  the  organic  nitrogen 


Bulletin  303 


13 


has  been  changed,  and  instead  of  tabulating  the  “water-soluble”  and 
the  “active  insoluble  and  inactive  insoluble  organic”  nitrogen,  the 
results  are  reported  under  the  two  headings : “as  soluble  organic” 
and  “as  insoluble  organic”  nitrogen.  All  of  the  determinations  were 
made,  however,  and  duly  reported  to  the  manufacturers  and  to  the 
purchaser  whose  goods  were  examined.  In  addition  to  the  determi- 
nations reported  as  noted  above,  if,  in  the  examination  of  the  insolu- 
ble nitrogen,  results  were  secured  that  indicated  the  constituent  was 
derived  from  materials  of  an  inferior  grade,  the  percentage  as  re- 
ported is  accompanied  by  an  appropriate  figure  which  refers  to  a 
note  at  the  bottom  of  the  page.  This  notes  gives  a statement  as  to 
the  character  of  the  insoluble  nitrogen  and,  also,  the  percentage  of 
activity  as  found  by  the  alkaline  permanganate  method.  If  the 
examination  indicated  that  the  constituent  was  derived  from  materi- 
als of  at  least  the  Average  activity,  no  additional  statement  is  made. 
This  method  of  tabulating  shows  at  a glance  those  brands  which  con- 
tained a portion,  at  least,  of  the  organic  nitrogen  in  an  inactive  form. 

Guaranteed  and  Actual  Composition 

All  of  the  samples,  with  one  exception,  were  accompanied  by 
guarantees  at  the  time  of  shipment,  although  all  of  the  guarantees 
were  not  stated  in  the  form  required  by  the  fertilizer  law. 

The  total  number  of  brands  of  mixed  fertilizers  examined  was 
565,  and  of  this  number  289  did  not  carry  any  guarantee  for  potash. 

The  average  analysis  of  the  276  brands  guaranteed  to  contain  nitro- 
gen, phosphoric  acid  and  potash  and  the  average  guarantees  are  as

In  accordance  with  the  preceding  tabulations  the  brands,  taken  as 
a whole,  substantially  satisfied  the  guarantees  given;  but  if  the. indi- 
vidual analyses  are  examined  it  will  be  noted  that  in  some  instances 


the  guarantees  were  not  delivered,  while  in  other  brands  the  guar- 
antees were  exceeded.  A detailed  study  of  the  analyses  will  show 
that  122  brands  satisfied  every  guarantee  given,  and  in  addition  to 
this  number  233  brands  substantially  satisfied  the  claims  of  the  man- 
ufacturers. The  remaining  209  brands  were  deficient.  Of  these 
deficient  brands,  182  were  deficient  in  one  element,  26  in  two  ele- 
ments, and  one  in  all  three  of  the  guaranteed  elements. 

The  record  for  this  year  shows  that  about  37  per  cent  of  the 
brands  were  deficient.  This  is  the  largest  percentage  of  deficient 
brands  that  has  been  reported  since  1912. 

The  following  tabulation  will  show  the  deficiencies  found  this 
year,  as  well  as  those  reported  during  the  past  ten  years.  In  pre- 
paring this  tabulation,  deficiencies  of  0.20  per  cent  or  less  of  nitro- 
gen, and  0.30  per  cent  or  less  of  phosphoric  acid  or  potash  have 
been  disregarded.

In  the  guaranteed  brands  examined  there  were  1406  deficiencies 
possible,  and  of  this  number  237  or  16.9  per  cent  were  found.  This 
is  the  largest  percentage  of  deficiencies  found  since  1908.  Various 
causes  have  been  suggested  by  different  manufacturers  for  this  con- 
dition, but  no  statement  has  been  given  that  would  indicate  that  the 
purchaser  was  in  any  way  responsible  for  the  composition  of  the 
materials  as  delivered.  The  charges  that  were  made  for  all  of  the 
shipments  were  undoubtedly  based  upon  the  cost  of  mixtures  that 
should  contain  the  full  amount  of  plant-food  guaranteed  and,  con- 
sequently, those  who  received  brands  that  were  deficient  paid  an 
excessive  price  for  their  fertilizers.  In  some  cases  the  manufac- 
turers have  given  a rebate  sufficient  to  cover  the  deficiency,  but  un- 
doubtedly a large  sum  of  money  has  been  paid  by  the  purchasers  for 
which  no  value  has  been  received. 

Since  it  is  not  the  duty  of  the  state  chemist  to  enforce  the  law,  it 
is  expected  that  the  purchasers  will  assist  in  protecting  their  own 
interests  by  insisting  that  they  should  receive  an  equivalent  for  their 
money.  Every  official  sample  that  is  examined  is  reported  to  the 
manufacturer  responsible  for  the  material  and,  also,  to  the  pur- 
chaser of  the  stock  examined.  If  the  purchaser  receives  a report 
that  is  marked  “deficient/’  the  question  of  the  value  of  the  material 
should  be  taken  up  with  the  manufacturer,  and  it  is  quite  probable 
that  an  adjustment  will  be  made.  If,  however,  no  satisfactory 
adjustment  is  made  and  the  conditions  warrant  it,  the  case  should 
be  reported  to  the  prosecutor  of  the  county  in  which  the  violation 
has  occurred,  since  Section  7 of  the  law  states  that  if  a corporation, 
firm  or  person  has  sold  fertilizer  found  by  analysis,  made  by  state 
chemist,  not  to  contain  substantially  the  guaranteed  percentage  of 
any  one  of  the  ingredients  in  the  guaranteed  analysis,  such  corpora- 
tion, firm  or  person  is  guilty  of  a misdemeanor. 

There  were  139  deficiencies  in  the  total  nitrogen  content  of  the 
brands  examined,  and  this  is  the  largest  number  of  deficiencies  of 
this  element  that  has  been  reported  since  the  inspection  work 
started.  This  is  a serious  condition  and  should  be  met  by  prompt 
and  effective  measures. 

In  addition  to  securing  the  full  amount  of  the  nitrogen  guaran- 
teed, it  is  also  important  to  know  something  of  the  character  of  the 
nitrogen  delivered.  The  law  requires  the  guarantee  of  total  nitro- 
gen to  be  stated,  but  as  far  as  the  guarantee  goes  it  may  be  derived 


16  New  Jersey  Agricultural  Experiment  Station 

wholly  or  in  part  from  materials  such  as  nitrate  of  soda,  sulfate  of 
ammonia,  cyanamid,  dried  blood,  fish,  tankage,  bone,  garbage  tank- 
age, leather,  peat,  etc.  The  tabulations  show  the  percentage  of 
nitrogen  which  was  determined  as  nitrate,  as  ammonia  salts,  as 
soluble  and  insoluble  organic,  and  they  also  show  those  brands  whose 
insoluble  nitrogen  was  derived  from  inert  forms.  A study  of  these 
tables  would  undoubtedly  give  some  information  that  could  be  made 
use  of  when  purchasing  fertilizers  for  future  use. 

Nitrogen  in  the  form  of  nitrates  was  found  in  201  brands,  while 
456  brands  contained  ammonia  salts  and  152  brands  contained  both 
of  these  available  forms  of  nitrogen.  All  of  the  brands,  with  one 
exception,  contained  organic  nitrogen,  the  value  of  which  depending 
upon  its  source.  In  addition  to  determining  the  percentage  of  or- 
ganic nitrogen,  determinations  were  made  to  ascertain  its  activity 
or  value  for  fertilizer  purposes.  These  determinations  gave  evi- 
dence that  the  insoluble  organic  nitrogen  in  over  16  per  cent  of  the 
brands  was  derived  from  low-grade  materials. 

There  were  81  deficiencies  in  phosphoric  acid,  which  is  a slight 
improvement  over  last  year. 

About  35  per  cent  of  the  brands  were  guaranteed  to  contain  1 per 
cent  of  potash,  about  10  per  cent  were  guaranteed  2 per  cent,  and 
4 per  cent  were  guaranteed  3 per  cent.  Eighteen  of  the  brands  did 
not  contain  a sufficient  amount  of  chlorine  to  combine  with  the  pot- 
ash present  in  order  to  form  muriate  of  potash,  and  they  have  been 
marked  in  the  tabulations  as  being  derived  from  sulfate.  There  were 

17  brands  deficient  in  potash. 

Station's  Valuation  and  Selling  Price 

It  has  been  the  practice  at  this  Station  to  calculate  the  valuations 
of  the  brands  analyzed,  but  for  reasons  given  on  a preceding  page 
we  were  unable  to  make  any  valuations  this  year.  On  account  of 
this  condition  we  are  unable  to  give  the  full  information  for  the 
present  year. 

In  order  that  a comparison  of  the  brands  of  complete  fertilizers 
containing  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  and  potash  may  be  made,  the 
following  tabulation  is  given  which  shows  the  average  composition. 
Station's  valuation  and  selling  price  of  the  brands  of  complete  fer- 
tilizers examined  during  the  past  ten  years,  and  the  average  analysis 
and  selling  price  of  the  brands  examined  this  year.

Ground  Bone 

Forty-three  samples  of  ground  bone  were  examined  during  the 
inspection,  and  the  results  are  tabulated  on  subsequent  pages. 

The  average  fineness  and  composition  of  the  samples  examined 
during  the  past  ten  years,  together  with  the  average  valuations,  omit- 
ting the  valuation  for  1916,  and  selling  prices  are  as  follows:

SUNDRY  MATERIALS 

16017.  Treated  Feldspar.  Sample  was  submitted  by  Dr.  Chas.  F. 
Jones,  Elizabeth,  N.  J.,  and  it  was  claimed  that  the  potash  content 
was  soluble  in  a dilute  solution  of  a weak  acid,  but  no  claim  was 
made  for  the  potash  being  in  the  water-soluble  form.  The  sample 
contained  5.20  per  cent  of  potash,  all  of  which  was  soluble  in  a 1 
per  cent  solution  of  citric  acid.  There  was  no  water-soluble  potash 
present. 

16019.  Muck.  Submitted  by  H.  H.  Hance,  Hackettstown,  N.  J. 
It  contained  42.64  per  cent  of  water ; 0.41  per  cent  of  nitrogen ; a 
trace  of  phosphoric  acid,  and  0.10  per  cent  of  potash. 

16029  and  16030.  Marls.  Samples  were  submitted  by  J.  F.  Ayres, 
Alloway,  N.  J.  Sample  16029  contained  : lime  20.24  per  cent ; phos- 
phoric acid  0.44  per  cent,  and  a trace  of  potash.  Sample  16030  con- 
tained : lime  24.43  per  cent ; phosphoric  acid  0.30  per  cent,  and  a 
trace  of  potash. 

16031.  Ashes.  Submitted  by  E.  J.  Hoppen,  Newark,  N.  J.  It 
contained  3.48  per  cent  of  lime;  1.53  per  cent  of  phosphoric  acid, 
and  0.08  per  cent  of  potash. 

16044.  Wood  Ashes.  Submitted  by  Elmer  Bowe,  Newport,  N.  J. 
It  was  claimed  to  contain  5.50  per  cent  of  potash.  It  contained 
56.96  per  cent  of  lime;  0.17  per  cent  of  phosphoric  acid,  and  0.48 
per  cent  of  potash. 

16048.  Wood  Ashes.  Submitted  by  Morris  Feinstein,  Bridgeton, 
N.  J.  This  sample  contained  55.97  per  cent  of  lime;  0.26  per  cent 
of  phosphoric  acid,  and  0.45  per  cent  of  potash. 

Information  was  received  that  the  above  samples,  Nos.  16044  and 
16048,  represented  material  that  was  being  sold  in  the  southern  sec- 
tion of  this  state  for  about  $19.00  per  ton.  An  inspector  was  imme- 
diately sent  to  investigate  and  to  collect  official  samples  of  the 
material.  In  accordance  with  the  instructions,  information  was 
secured  that  W.  H.  Leidy,  Swarthmore,  Pa.,  was  selling  the  material 
and  two  official  samples  were  secured. 

Sample  16442  was  taken  from  the  stock  of  I.  Serata  & Sons, 
Bridgeton,  N.  J.,  and  it  contained  57.14  per  cent  of  lime;  0.15  per 
cent  of  phosphoric  acid,  and  0.17  per  cent  of  potash.  The  second 
sample,  No.  16448,  was  taken  from  the  stock  of  James  Davis, 
Bridgeton,  N.  J.,  and  it  contained  56.10  per  cent  of  lime;  0.15  per 
cent  of  phosphoric  acid,  and  0.24  per  cent  of  potash. 

All  of  the  results  show  that  the  material  was  only  a little  better 
than  a good  grade  of  limestone.  All  pf  the  parties  known  to  be 
interested  were  notified  of  the  condition  and  the  sellers  were  advised

to  withdraw  the  material  from  our  markets.  The  county  demon- 
strator was  also  given  the  information  in  order  that  he  might  advise 
the  farmers  in  his  section  regarding  the  value  of  the  material.  At 
a later  date  it  was  impossible  to  secure  any  evidence  that  additional 
shipments  of  the  material  had  been  received.

AGRICULTURAL  LIME 

The  law  entitled  “An  Act  to  Regulate  the  Sale  of  Agricultural 
Lime”  became  effective  on  January  1,  1914.  The  essential  features 
of  this  law,  briefly  stated,  are : 

1.  Registration  of  the  brand  name  and  guarantees  that  will  be 
attached  to  the  materials  as  sold. 

2.  The  constituents  that  must  be  guaranteed. 

3.  The  name  and  address  of  the  party  responsible  for  the  ma- 

terial. 

4.  The  official  inspection  of  the  materials  offered  for  sale. 

Registrations 

During  the  past  year  43  manufacturers  registered  87  different 
brands  of  agricultural  lime.  The  names  and  addresses  of  those  who 
have  registered  their  products  are:

The  Guaranteed  Composition 

The  law  states  the  specific  form  which  must  be  used  in  stating  the 
guaranteed  composition  of  the  various  forms  of  lime  and  consists 

of : 

1.  The  minimum  and  maximum  percentage  of  total  lime. 

2.  The  minimum  and  maximum  percentage  of  total  magnesia. 

3.  The  minimum  percentage  of  lime  and  magnesia  combined  as 

carbonates. 

During  the  past  there  has  been  more  or  less  confusion  caused  by 
a misunderstanding  as  to  the  meaning  of  the  guarantees  required. 
The  term  “total  lime”  means  total  calcium  oxide  (CaO).  The  term 
“total  magnesia’’  means  total  magnesium  oxide  (MgO).  The  term 
““lime  and  magnesia  combined  as  carbonates”  means  the  total  amount 


38  New  Jersey  Agricultural  Experiment  Station 

of  calcium  and  magnesium  oxides  present  in  the  material  that  is 
combined  with  carbonic  acid  and  is  ascertained  by  determining  the 
percentage  of  carbonic  acid.  It  does  not  mean  the  total  lime  (CaO) 
and  the  total  magnesia  (MgO)  calculated  to  their  equivalents  ex- 
pressed as  carbonate  of  lime. 

Since  the  value  of  a lime  product  depends  upon  the  total  lime 
and  magnesia  present,  the  value  of  the  first  and  second  guarantees 
is  apparent.  The  value  of  the  third  guarantee  when  given  with  the 
first  and  second,  is  in  the  statement  which  shows  whether  the  con- 
tent of  the  active  constituents  is  in  the  form  as  found  in  a limestone 
or  in  the  form  of  a burned  lime. 

Limestones  are  variable  in  composition,  some  containing  only  lime 
in  the  form  of  carbonate  of  lime  in  addition  to  the  usual  impurities, 
while  others  contain  carbonate  of  lime  and  carbonate  of  magnesia. 
In  both  classes  the  active  constituents  are  in  the  form  of  carbonates. 

Freshly  burned  lime  does  not  contain  a very  large  quantity  of 
carbonic  acid  if  the  burning  has  been  carefully  regulated.  The 
burned  lime,  however,  absorbs  carbonic  acid  from  the  air  and  in 
time  it  is  possible  that  all  of  the  lime  present  will  be  in  the  same 
form  as  in  the  original  limestone. 

The  interpretation  of  a guarantee  may  be  more  clearly  explained 
by  the  use  of  two  typical  guarantees.  Let  it  be  assumed  that  the 
following  information  is  attached  to  materials  that  are  offered : 


Brand  No.  1

Brand  No.  2

29  to  31 

17  to  19 

46 

53  to  55 

37  to  39 

2 

A glance  at  the  guarantee  of  Brand  No.  1 will  show  that  the  mini- 
mum content  of  lime  and  magnesia  is  46  per  cent.  Without  any 
other  information  these  figures  might  be  caused  by  the  material  be- 
ing of  low  grade,  but  the  third  guarantee  informs  us  that  all  of  the 
lime  and  magnesia  is  in  the  form  of  carbonate  and  as  such  is  a 
good  representative  of  its  class.  The  material,  consequently,  has  the 
same  value  as  a ground  limestone  of  the  same  composition  and 
mechanical  condition.  Brand  No.  2,  represents  a good  burned  lime 
since  the  guarantees  show  at  least  90  per  cent  of  lime  and  magnesia 
and  only  a comparatively  small  quantity  of  carbonates. 

Inspection 

During  the  past  season  35  samples  of  various  lime  products  were 
received  and  examined.  The  results  of  these  examinations  are  given 
in  the  following  tabulations.
